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.

Great quality but fit issues

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. The other side is perfect. Unfortunately my husband already tore off the tags out of excitement so we can’t return most likely. Just frustrating since I paid so much and expected expertly sewn garments for the price.

Two robes and counting!

I bought a second Bown robe for my husband, for down at our tiny shore shack where the only shower is outdoors. This will be my go-to gift for men. A fantastic choice of colors, excellent plush cotton fabric, beautiful construction, and great customer service. Also: a U.S. presence, which means no tariff. It's a grand slam!

Not exactly the same

The bag the robe came in I'm not impressed and the rope lining was ok too but not throughout. My husband seems to like it though! But I remember the quality in the 90s 2000s it was much better. Keeping the item and marking 5 stars anyways

Luxurious and cozy

My boyfriend loves it. Very luxurious and thick, good quality. Doesn’t feel like too “towely” like some robes can be. Soft, warm, and elegant.

Simply the best!

Our son has a Cunard dressing gown that is the envy of the entire family and I discovered it was made by Bown. Now the entire family has their robes and my husband is now the proud owner of a gorgeous cobalt blue robe! It’s wonderful quality, absorbent, elegant and, crucially, is of a longer length.

Item yet to arrive..well past 10 days

I ordered my package on the 5th of December and have yet to receive it. It is now the 21st (almost 22nd) of December. I contacted customer service to ensure the item would arrive before Christmas prior to ordering. I was ensured there was plenty of time. I paid a lot for shipping…this is disappointing
