Bathrobes

Luxury Bathrobes — Four Different Answers to the Same Question

A bathrobe occupies a specific moment — the transition from bath or shower to the rest of the evening. The weight, the warmth, how quickly it absorbs, and whether it drapes like a garment or hangs like a towel all matter in a way that becomes apparent only once you are wearing one.

Sleep Gallery at 24 Irakli Abashidze Street, Vake, Tbilisi, carries luxury bathrobes from four manufacturers who each take a fundamentally different approach to that moment: Abyss & Habidecor from Portugal, Formesse from Germany, Uchino from Japan, and Society Limonta from Italy. The selection displayed online is a starting point — the complete range of models, sizes, and colours is available for consultation and in-person comparison at the Vake showroom.

Abyss & Habidecor — Two Weights, One Material

Abyss & Habidecor offers two distinct bathrobe options at Sleep Gallery, made from the same Egyptian Giza Extra Long Staple cotton, at different weights for different preferences.

The Abyss & Habidecor Amigo is the mid-weight option — 400 GSM, calf-length, with a cushioned shawl collar whose trim, cuffs, and belt are finished in a smoother contrasting weave. It is soft, absorbent, and genuinely comfortable for everyday use, without the full weight of a maximum-pile robe. Available in 60 colours. Made to order in Portugal.

The Abyss & Habidecor Super Pile is the brand’s signature heavyweight — 700 GSM of three-directionally woven Giza cotton, the same construction as their best-selling Super Pile towel. At that weight and pile depth, the robe functions as a full wrap: thick, deeply absorbent, and warm. It is piece-dyed after assembly, so the body, collar, belt, and label are perfectly colour-matched throughout the garment’s life. Available in 60 colours. Made to order in Portugal.

Formesse — Jersey-Quilted, Not Terry

The Formesse Bella Donna bathrobe takes an entirely different position. Rather than the conventional terry loop construction, it uses Formesse’s signature Bella Donna cotton jersey fabric in a diamond quilt pattern — the same supercombed, gassed, long-staple cotton yarn that defines the brand’s fitted sheet and protector range. The result is a bathrobe that behaves like a fitted garment rather than a wrapped towel: it moves with the body, lies flat without bulk, and has the smooth, opaque surface characteristic of dense jersey rather than the looped texture of terry. For those who find terry robes too heavy or too thick, the Bella Donna jersey robe is a fundamentally different wearing experience. Available in white and grey. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Made in Germany.

Uchino — Japanese Hollow Yarn, Dual-Sided Waffle

The Uchino Waffle robe is built around a construction that does not exist in European bathrobes. Uchino uses a patented hollow yarn — cotton spun using a technique that creates air-filled crevices within the yarn itself — woven into a waffle structure that traps air within its three-dimensional geometry. The exterior waffle surface maximises airflow and delivers fast absorption; the interior pile layer provides a soft, plush hand feel. The result is a robe that is extraordinarily light — under 600 grams for a full-size garment — while retaining genuine absorbency and warmth retention. It dries significantly faster between uses than a conventional terry robe and does not hold moisture. Made in Japan, 100% cotton.

Society Limonta — Italian Seasonal Design, Linen and Cotton

Society Limonta treats the bathrobe as a seasonal design object, renewed with each collection. Their robe range includes linen, cotton, and linen-cotton blend constructions, from a lightweight honeycomb-weave option to richer cotton and linen terry formats. Refined shawl collar cut, restrained seasonal colour palette — Society Limonta robes have a distinctly dressed quality that extends the brand’s fashion-house approach to the bathroom.

Choosing Between Them

For maximum weight and enveloping warmth, the Super Pile is the definitive choice. For a lighter daily robe that still performs in Giza cotton, the Amigo. For those who want a garment-like experience without terry bulk, the Formesse Bella Donna jersey. For the lightest possible construction with fast drying and Japanese craftsmanship, the Uchino Waffle. All four are available to try in person at Sleep Gallery’s Vake showroom — free delivery across Tbilisi for all purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I buy a luxury bathrobe in Tbilisi?

Sleep Gallery at 24 Irakli Abashidze Street, Vake, Tbilisi carries luxury bathrobes from Abyss & Habidecor, Formesse, Uchino, and Society Limonta — four European and Japanese manufacturers with distinct material approaches. The online selection is a portion of what is available. The complete range of models, sizes, and colours can be experienced in the Vake showroom. Free delivery is available across Tbilisi for all purchases.

Q: What is the difference between a terry bathrobe and a jersey bathrobe?

Terry bathrobes use looped cotton pile — the same construction as a bath towel — which gives them their characteristic fluffy, absorbent texture and heavier weight. Jersey bathrobes, like the Formesse Bella Donna, use a knitted cotton fabric with a smooth, fitted surface that moves with the body rather than draping in folds. Jersey robes are lighter, lie flatter against the skin, and behave more like a garment than a wrapped towel. Neither is categorically better — the preference depends entirely on whether you want maximum enveloping absorption (terry) or a lighter, more tailored experience (jersey).

Q: What GSM should a bathrobe be?

GSM — grams per square metre — indicates pile density and therefore absorbency and warmth in terry robes. Lighter robes at 300–400 GSM dry quickly and suit warmer weather or those who prefer less bulk. Heavier robes at 600–750 GSM are warmer, more absorbent, and have a more enveloping feel — the Abyss & Habidecor Super Pile robe is 700 GSM, placing it at the luxury end of the range. Jersey and gauze robes like those from Formesse and Uchino are not measured by the same GSM logic, since their absorbency comes from construction and fibre type rather than pile weight.

Q: Are Uchino bathrobes suitable for year-round use?

Uchino’s gauze-construction robes are particularly well-suited to warmer months and humid climates — the open weave dries quickly between uses and does not hold heat the way a dense terry robe does. The inner pile lining provides adequate absorbency for post-shower use without the heaviness of a full terry construction. For those who find conventional robes uncomfortably warm in summer or struggle with slow-drying terry, Uchino’s kimono-format robes offer a genuinely different experience.

Q: Why does the Formesse Bella Donna bathrobe look different from other bathrobes?

The Bella Donna bathrobe uses Formesse’s signature cotton jersey fabric — the same supercombed, long-staple yarn that defines their fitted sheets — cut and quilted into a diamond pattern rather than constructed from terry loops. The quilted jersey surface has a clean, graphic appearance that is visually distinct from either terry or waffle weave robes. The fabric lies flat without the loft of terry, giving the garment a more tailored, less voluminous silhouette. It is available in white and grey and is OEKO-TEX certified.

Q: Can I coordinate a bathrobe with towels from the same brand?

Yes — Abyss & Habidecor’s Super Pile bathrobe is made from the same Giza cotton terry as their towel range and is available in the same 60+ colour palette, so exact colour coordination across towels, bath sheets, and robe is possible. Society Limonta designs their robes as part of seasonal bathroom collections that include coordinating towels and bath mats. At our showroom, consultants can help build a fully coordinated bathroom selection across all available brands.
