Please note that our gowns are loose cut and unisex, so sizing down may be recommended. For more detailed sizing, please consult the sizing guide.
The Mungo Linen Gown design takes its cue from the traditional Japanese kimono, which translates as ‘thing to wear’ – and if there were ever a thing to wear, this would be it! The perfect bathroom or wardrobe addition made from 100% pure linen. A timeless choice that will last for years, and soften and gain character with age and use.
It’s loose unisex design features generous sleeves and tie-around sash. Linen, one of the oldest used fibres in the world, has long been admired for it’s beautiful drape and natural lustre, but it’s the soft feel and texture to skin that is linen fabric’s main allure. Lightweight and breathable, linen never clings to the body. It is cool and absorbent, and you’ll never feel clammy when wrapped in linen. Read more on this amazing fibre here.
Wooed by your linen gown, we think there’s a good chance you’ll want to be engulfed by linen for more of your day.
As with all our products, the Mungo Linen Gown is designed, made and woven at the Mungo Mill in Plettenberg Bay. We commit to contributing 1% of our annual turnover to our CSR MOVE, to empower and uplift the Plettenberg Bay community.
Our linen is grown in the fields of Europe, where the climate and soil is best suited to flax cultivation, and spun by our Italian Master Spinners, Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale. With over a century of experience, Linificio has built a reputation for producing an elegant natural material with integrity and flair.
From there, the yarn wings its way to our mill in Plettenberg Bay,
where it is carefully warped, woven, pressed and packed into perfection.
A refined natural material, linen is loved for the world over for its breathability and unmatched feel on the skin. Inherently luxuriously, subtly lustrous and with a handle that develops its character over time.
Quality of the linen.
Exceptional quality, lovely colour, I love wearing it.
The sizing is very genrous – a smaller size might have been a better option. No pockets. Still I am very happy with my purchase.
