About the original
The Frette Terry Bathrobe is a shawl-collar, knee-length robe in 100% cotton terry, with a self-belt and cotton sateen bias trim on the cuffs and seams. Frette was founded in 1860 in Monza, Italy by Edmond Frette and has supplied linens to the Vatican, the Orient Express, more than 500 luxury hotels, and several European royal households. The company operates two mills in the Lombardy region and still weaves its terry in Italy. The Supreme SS15 version is the standard Frette terry robe in white with a red embroidered box logo on the chest; the cut, fabric, and Italian-made construction are unchanged from Frette's own stock bathrobe.
