Product Description
The original ocean-first towelling robe, built for anyone who lives by the water.
Step out of the sea, pool or shower and pull it on. Heavyweight organic cotton terry soaks up water fast, locks in body heat and gives you full coverage while you change, with no towel juggling and no cold concrete.
The generous fit lets you get in and out of swimwear or a wetsuit while staying completely covered. The soft hood traps heat after a cold water swim, and the relaxed length takes you from the shoreline to wherever you're headed next.
Made from GOTS certified organic cotton, grown without pesticides and dyed without harsh chemicals. Kinder to your skin and to the sea you swim in.
Machine washable, quick drying and built for daily use. The go-to organic cotton beach robe for open water swimmers, surfers and anyone who lives by the water.
Free UK shipping and returns, backed by a 3 year guarantee.

FAQs
Are the fabrics really recycled and certified?
Yes.
Our towelling robes are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, and our changing robes from certified recycled nylon & recycled polyester.
All third-party certified — so it's not just marketing speak.
What size should I get?
Our towelling robes come in M and L — both cut generously to wear over wet kit, with room to change underneath.
If you're between sizes or want a more relaxed fit, size up. If it doesn't feel right when it arrives, we'll exchange it free.
How absorbent is it really?
Properly absorbent. Heavyweight GOTS-certified organic cotton terry, woven thick to soak up water from your hair and skin in seconds — and lock in your body heat while you're at it.
It's the kind of robe you'll find yourself reaching for after a shower at home, not just after a swim.
Can I get changed underneath it?
Yes — that's exactly what the three-quarter sleeves are for. Pull your arms inside, peel off wet kit, and pull dry clothes on without flapping wet sleeves around or flashing the car park.
It's a small design choice that makes a big difference.
What's your return policy and guarantee?
60-day free returns on unworn robes. Taken it out for a swim and it's still not right? Get in touch anyway.
Plus a 3-year performance guarantee on anything that fails in normal use — stitching, fabric, or finish.
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash at 30°C, inside out. Tumble dry on low.
Avoid fabric softener — it coats the cotton fibres and reduces absorbency, which is the whole point of a towelling robe.
Wash with similar colours to keep the dye rich.
