Style Meets Function: The Victoria Robe
Chic, timeless, and beautifully made, The Victoria Robe is the ultimate towelling dress for women who want to feel pulled together, even in the heat. Crafted from plush cotton towelling with a hint of stretch, it features flattering side splits and Bridie & Bert’s signature fringed pocket —details that elevate it beyond the ordinary.
Style it your way:
• Pair with tan leather sandals, gold jewellery and a tote bag for poolside sophistication
• Wear it over your swimsuit as you wander through a beachside market
• Add an oversized sunhat and a spritz in hand for a ‘La Dolce Vita’ moment
• Wear with flip-flops or sliders at home for a relaxed daytime look between lounge and garden
This is the kind of beach cover up that turns heads for all the right reasons—relaxed, refined, and undeniably elegant.
Easy, Breezy, Bold: The Jamie Robe
Prefer a more playful vibe? The Jamie Robe is your go-to. A bold and modern towelling beach dress in vibrant colours, it’s got a sporty edge with an oversized fit, flattering below-the-knee length, dropped shoulders and a cosy hood. Whether you’re fresh out of the sea or wrapping up after a late-afternoon swim, this robe delivers comfort and style in equal measure.
How to wear it:
• Slip it on post-swim with bare feet and salty hair for the ultimate beachy look
• Team with chunky sandals and a bright crossbody for ice-cream runs or coastal strolls
• Belt it loosely over a bikini for an effortlessly cool silhouette
• Replace your dressing gown for the Jamie Robe for effortless style and comfort on a lazy day
The Jamie is a beach robe designed for relaxed days, sea air, and sunshine-soaked adventures. It’s bold, joyful, and endlessly wearable.
