No luxury spa guest experience is complete without a warm welcome and a luxurious robe. Fashionizer Spa knows this better than anyone and has recently unveiled its latest sustainable offering in the form of a spa gown called Kinthia inspired by a classic kimono silhouette.
A UK-based global company, Fashionizer Spa works to prioritise sustainability in its products. Its new Kinthia robe is the latest addition to its bestselling range of sustainable uniforms and combines practicality and style with a responsible, cost-effective approach.
The new garment is designed for use in both hotels and spas and as a VIP or retail offering for guests.
Crafted with sustainability in mind
In a bid to create a garment that reduces its environmental imprint from start to finish, the new robe is crafted from 100 per cent organic cotton and is designed to use less water and energy during the laundering process than traditional towelling-style pieces.
Testing by TDS Laundry show that the new gown reduces laundering costs dramatically by 50 per cent when compared to traditional towelling robes and 63 per cent less than waffle robes. This is largely due to the gown’s smaller size (it weighs only 350g, whereas traditional towelling robes and waffle robes weigh 550g and 950g respectively).
The result is that more garments can fit into a single wash, lowering both the ecological impact and cost for businesses. This calculation also considers drying time – towelling robes take approximately 50 minutes to dry and use 29.6kW/h of energy on average, whereas Fashionizer Spa’s new gowns take only 25 minutes, using 14.8Kw/h.
The new Kinthia wrap-style gown requires a light iron; however, when comparing the cost of this process it was negligible in the face of the reduction in the overall costs of maintaining these garments in a hotel or spa.
Kinthia’s final stand-out sustainability feature is its capacity to biodegrade once it ends its useful life.
A comforting embrace
In addition to its sustainability credentials, Fashionizer Spa’s new robe is designed to be comfortable and chic. The lightweight, soft organic cotton elevates the spa experience, including thoughtful details such as carefully designed sleeves, a detachable belt and two pockets.
The Kinthia robe will be available from June 2023 in the following options:
• Plain, undyed cotton which can be embroidered with spas’ own logos and personalised with a trim of choice.
• An exclusive green leaf print, designed by the Fashionizer Spa’s design team and inspired by forest bathing images. The chemicals used in the printing are not harmful to the environment and this item is also fully biodegradable.
The UK-based company works to prioritise sustainability in their products. Their new robe is the latest addition to the bestselling range of sustainable uniforms they have sold to date, combining practicality and style with a responsible, cost-effective approach.
