My husband was so excited for his new smoking jacket I got him for Christmas. Great quality and it’s lovely. The only thing is, one of the sleeves is sewn poorly and the fabric is billowy on one side.... See more

About Bown of London
Written by the company
At Bown of London, we believe that luxury is about more than just the products we offer—it's about the experience. For nearly 40 years, we have been dedicated to providing the finest luxury bathrobes, dressing gowns, and loungewear. While our products may not be for everyone, we take pride in our reputation for excellence, as evidenced by our outstanding ratings on Trustpilot. Our customers trust us for our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and fair business practices. If you're seeking quality over mere affordability, you've come to the right place.
What Makes Us Special
Luxury, to us, is not only about the materials we use but also the experience we provide. That's why we go above and beyond to offer personalised options—whether it’s adding your initials, a special message, or creating bespoke custom-made shoes. These unique touches make each item special, whether you're treating yourself or gifting to someone else. Each of our products is handcrafted with the utmost care, using only the finest materials. We focus on comfort, style, and durability, ensuring that your purchase will last for years to come. When you choose Bown of London, you join a global community of individuals who value personal style, impeccable design, and the highest quality craftsmanship.
Our Legacy
For many years, Bown of London operated exclusively in Great Britain. However, in recent years, we have expanded our reach to Europe, the USA, and beyond, allowing customers worldwide to experience the luxury of our dressing gowns, smoking jackets, custom shoes, and pajamas—often with next-day delivery. We are proud of our reputation as the Rolls Royce of Robes and the choice of celebrities & aristocrats. You may be wondering about the origin of our name, "Bown of London." It traces back to our founder, Mr. Alan Bown, a successful businessman with a passion for British luxury. Having been unable to find a bathrobe that met his exacting standards, Mr. Bown decided to create his own brand. And so, Bown of London was born. Many of the designs we offer today were created by Mr. Bown himself, and we continue to honor his legacy with every item we produce.
Bown of London quality will be remembered long after the price is forgotten.

I purchased a pair of tuxedo shoes
I purchased a pair of tuxedo shoes. They look and fit great I wear them with my tuxedo as well as my Bown smoking jacket.

Not impressed
After searching on line for what I thought was going to be a ‘quality’ summer dressing gown for my husband, I settled on purchasing one from Bown of London.
When it arrived, it was boxed in a very flimsy cardboard box & taped up with what looked like blue electrical tape. The box was completely crushed. The only interior packaging was hand teared up pieces of card board… not fit for purpose & most definitely not very professional.
Not only was the box crushed, but the gift bag that I had paid £10 for was crushed too.
Before even taking the dressing gown out of its bag, I noticed that the label wasn’t ever sewn on straight, it was completely lob-sided. I immediately emailed to start a return on Friday 6th Feb & didn’t get a reply until Monday 9th Feb.
The customer service representative was helpful & sent me a prepaid return label. I returned the parcel that same day & am still awaiting my refund to be paid.
Not at all impressed & not at all what I expected.

Shipping is so slow...
Shipping is so slow. It's going to miss Valentines day. Don't trust their estimated ship times, they are so not based on reality.

Treated myself to luxury dressing…
Treated myself to luxury dressing gown,I really expected the crème de la crème of gowns! Was a little disappointed I felt the belt could’ve been a bit longer the pockets are rather small and being striped the inside of the lapel stripes don’t match. I know it is what it is but for the price I expect TOP quality, and unfortunately I am left a little disappointed.

It was real easy experience was good. I only had one small issue. I went by the size chart and I think it’s a little too small at least feel small to me.

Great dressing gown
The product is great, beautiful quality and generous sizing. One star was lost because advertising was not up to date on stock availability, and the AI chat bot, was absolutely useless . It took emails and several encounters with the idiot chat bot before a human could be reached to sort the simple problem out.

Exceptional service, and quality of product!
When my beautiful robe first arrived, I realized I ordered a size too small. I sent Bown an email and they responded within a few hours on how to make the exchange! Along with great service, the quality of craftsmanship and softness of their robes is definitely a five star. They are my new favorite for robes and sleepwear!

Simply Spectacular!
We received our beautiful, rich smoking jacket with a deep quilted navy blue collar & cuffs. Expert workmanship! The sash and thick piping detail is spectacular. It's delicious dark green brocade and luxurious weight and feel while on is beyond compare! Did I miss anything? I'll miss this when we send it to France as a gift for my husband's brother's 90th birthday! Merci beaucoup!

Nice product. Swift delivery
Overall v impressive service.
Nice product. Website gave good details on product sizing (length being important as I’m 6’6”). Dressing gown v stylish - something that was commented on when I was in hospital (which was the reason I bought it).
