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 only received half of my order

I only received half of my order.
I accessed the chat forum twice and received an order number and yet never heard back.
There are no one-on-one agents to speak to.
I finally made a complaint with PayPal….received a credit return. But I was still charged by customs for the full value of the order.

A Fantastic Robe

The robe is great. I love it. It replaced an “old friend” I had worn out after over 20 years. But this robe gives the same warm hugs every morning when I put it on! Additionally, the company listens to feedback about their online checkout process and takes action based on that. I was impressed.

There’s no way this was a 4x

There’s no way this was a 4x. The cut is too small. To much money for something that can’t be worn.

Dear Michael

Different vendors have different size charts, our dressing gown size charts are 100% accurate- the 4XL robe fits chest 58-60 inches.

Quality does not justify the cost

While the jacket itself is very nice, the thread quality of the material is a bit lacking lustre. I noticed a lot of furling fabric on the internal layer, and loose threads on the ends. This jacket is overpriced.

Bown Delivers!

First, the shoes are really special and my husband loves them. Second, when a snafu occurred in shipping it was a nail biter yet ultimately they arrived in time for our son’s wedding with the Bown CEO personally involved and helpful. Bown came through and delivered (literally) great service and product. .

Reply from Bown of London

Dear Kate,

We’re very sorry to hear your robe arrived without belt loops—this certainly isn’t how it should have been, as all our robes are designed with loops to keep the belt in place.

We’ve already reached out via email to help resolve this for you, as we want to make sure you receive a robe that meets our quality standards. If you could kindly check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case), we’d love to get this sorted as quickly as possible.

We really appreciate your feedback and the chance to make this right.

Kind regards,
The Bown of London Team
