Framsohn bath poncho children

They remind us of the sleeveless cloaks made of colourful terry cloth, under which we changed on the beach in childhood pastime. However, this poncho is far more stylish and just as practical. It provides the same warmth as a bathrobe, but since there is no closure, it will never fly open when you are trying to put on your bathing suit or frolicking under the sun among the sea and the sand. It can of course also be worn very comfortably at home when relaxing after a bath. And, since this (beach) equipment has proved its worth for adults – for example, among surfers for whom such ponchos already belong to a basic beach kit – we also offer two larger (unisex) designs.

Here there is something for everyone, and everything fits together, from the flannel and the bath towel to the bathrobe. The Lower Austrian textile manufacturer Framsohn has produced this series of bathroom textiles for us; it includes towels and bathrobes, bathing ponchos for the whole family, as well as a hooded towel for the smallest family member. The family-owned company has been involved in the production of high-quality terry cloth products since 1908. Until today, all stages of the manufacturing process are carried out at the Waldviertel production site.

With its fine grey lines or broad light-blue stripes on a natural white background, the terry cloth makes a strong visual impression. Nonetheless, what remains unseen is the quality of the cotton: it comes from certified organic farms and is itself certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). With the GOTS certification, a company is held to high standards for the sustainable production of textiles made from organically produced natural fibres. The entire production chain is subject to the evaluation, from the extraction of textile fibres, through their processing and subsequent distribution to ethical and social criteria. Compliance with these standards is reviewed annually, after which the GOTS certification is renewed.

What you immediately feel upon touching the light fabric is the particular way it has been woven: one side has been woven as terry cloth with the typical loops, which ensure high absorbency. The other side is smooth and soft. This saves weight and volume, without the towels losing their famed absorbency. They are therefore ideal companions for travel, the beach or the swimming pool.
