This bathrobe blends 70 percent rayon made from bamboo with 30 percent cotton in a 450-grams-per-square-meter weave. Expertly made in Turkey with a patented ply construction of dense, short loops that impart a lightly lustrous look, the robe is as light as silk, but offers far more warmth and absorbency. Details include a shawl collar, a sash tie with belt loops, deep in-seam pockets, and roll-up cuffs. A layer of pretty piqué weave accents the top of the collar, sash, and cuffs for a subtle contrast in texture. The bathrobe is offered in small, medium, large, and extra large in an array of colors. Coordinating bath towels and washcloths are available in the same palette to transform the entire bath experience into a lavish treat. Cleaning is a breeze since bamboo-derived rayon and cotton is safe to wash at home in the washer and dryer. Please note, though, that this fabric can sometimes take a little longer to dry in the dryer after it has been thoroughly soaked in the washer.

Fabric Definition
Bamboo-Derived Rayon and Cotton: Bamboo-derived rayon and cotton is a supremely soft fabric comprised of both rayon made from bamboo and cotton fibers in varying ratios. The bamboo plant lends itself perfectly to the making of fabrics. Bamboo-derived rayon's porous fibers make a cloth with a breatheability and moisture absorption greater than cotton and a softness comparable to silk and cashmere. Bed and bath linens made of bamboo-derived rayon and cotton provide the very best qualities of each fiber.
History of the Textile Mill
Founded in Denizli, Turkey, in 1989 by Mr. Eke himself, the Eke Textile Industry and Trading Company began its operations with just a 1,500 square meter area and eight weaving looms. By 1991, the company established a sewing line to broaden its product range and increase market share. Soon, two computer-aided ETON system lines and 46 stations were added. The Swedish ETON system guarantees a minimum error rate of 2%-3%. It is an assembly-line-like system that allows the producer to know exactly who in which station is responsible for each part of the production process. This greatly minimizes production flaws, which earns EKE its stellar reputation for superior products. To meet continually growing demand, the operation was moved to a new 10,000 square meter plant in 1996. Mr. Eke is still in charge of daily operations and EKE has come to boast a 500+ strong workforce.
History of the Region
Denizli is the most famous city in Turkey for towels and bathrobes. The factories have employed a long line of towel weavers from the mountain top village of Babadag, near Denizli. Weaving is a tradition that has been perfected over the past 300 years. The technique originated from the weaving of Turkish carpets, and eventually moved to towels with the use of thinner cotton yarns. Denizli is not only known for its towels, but also for its hot springs, known as “Pamukkale,” or, in English, “Cotton Castle.” The natural thermal water, containing limestone, has flowed over the hilltops for hundreds of years, creating a smooth rock formation that gives the hills their clean, white appearance. Denizli is also one of the largest marble producing areas in the world. Their second biggest export after textiles is marble stone.
