Caring for your Turkish Robes properly can ensure a long-lasting staple in your closet. So if you and your housecoat want to go steady, and be friends for the long haul rather than just a season, make sure you follow these steps!
It’s important, with 100% pure Turkish cotton, that you are delicate with the material in the wash. Wash with like colours, and in cold water. Do not wash your Turkish robe in hot water as hot water will cause shrinkage. If possible, and for best results, wash on the delicate cycle. Because Turkish cotton has extra long fibers, however, making it highly durable, you can wash your robe on the regular washing machine setting if needed.
But we always want what’s best for you!
Hanging your Turkish robe to dry is recommended over machine drying. If you need to machine dry, dry on a low heat. But please note there may be some shrinkage after machine drying.
Pure Turkish cotton is highly absorptive and becomes softer over time, with frequent use. So you can ditch your fabric softener altogether when washing your Turkish robe!
Looking to rid your robe of any wrinkles? You can decrease wrinkles naturally using less energy with Pokoloko's Alpaca Dryer Balls!
After the first wash, please allow for some shrinkage; however, if cared for properly in cold water, the shrinkage should be very minimal and not noticeable.
Given the artisanal make of our robes, please allow for slight natural variations in colour, size, and weave with each unique piece. However, if there are differences present, these differences are not usually noticeable.
Our focus always includes versatility, utility and functionality. So on top of creating a vibe that is elegant, contemporary, stylish, modern, luxe, and coastal, our Turkish robes offer a few other benefits:
1.Soft and gentle on the skin.
2. Unisex styles.
3. Pre-screening*
*All Pokoloko Turkish fabrics are carefully pre-screened and pre-tested for quality, absorbency, durability, and style.
Did you know that every Turkish robe comes with a generously sized hood, two deep front pockets, a tied sash belt, and a length down to your knees, calves or ankles?
That makes your housecoat-wearing experience as stylish and functional as possible!

Depending on the time of year, the variance in weight makes Turkish bathrobes perfect for seasonal use (a lightweight weave is ideal for the summer, heavyweight for the dead of winter). But depending on what you like in your space, all Poko robes are all-season.
Turkish cotton has extra long fibres, making it longer lasting and more durable than regular cotton. While the science and art of Turkish towels dates back to the 17th century, their quick-dry, high absorbency, and unparalleled weave makes them a modern day essential worldwide.
