A Beginner’s Guide to River Swimming
Whilst Robie’s may be based on the Cornish coast, our products aren’t solely for seaside use. The towelling Original-Series and water and windproof Dry-Series compliment any swim, whether it be in salt water or fresh. That’s why we’ve decided to explore the realms of river swimming, where our inland friends find their cold water fix!
The Padstow to Rock Swim
Every year a gaggle of keen swimmers line the sea wall in Padstow, at the beginning of the Camel Trail. Swim hats, goggles and wetsuits of all colours can be seen excitedly jostling above the tidal river, backed by views of the iconic Iron Bridge guarding the entrance to Little Petherick Creek. With the promise of a pasty and a pint on the other side, swimmers tackle the 1-mile open water swim eagerly.
Artist Series: Rose Darling
Our friend Rose Darling has worked as an illustrator and print designer since the early 2000s. A lover of the great outdoors, she integrates elements of the natural world into her work, and has created a number of nature-inspired artworks for us that became towelling Original-Series robes. To celebrate the coming launch of 2 new designs, which will be dropping soon, we spoke with Rose about inspiration, sustainability, art and her love of the ocean.
Get Outside
Its Wild Out There
We believe that life – living - happens outside. And at Robie, our purpose is to help you treasure every second you get out there. We’re there to get you where you want to be: into the water, into the wild, into the vast outdoors. And afterwards, to help you keep hold of the feeling it gave you, for longer.
The Original
Endlessly Imitated, Never matched
It’s hard to believe that before we created it, the changing robe didn’t exist. But we well remember the days when an ordinary beach towel was all we had to protect us (and our dignity) from the elements as we got into and out of the water.
Produced with Care
Made with a conscience
The natural world is our lifeblood, our passion and our business. We’re committed to doing everything that we can to protect it. Your Robie is produced with care and a conscience, using responsibly sourced materials. Our towelling products are made from the finest cotton and we use recycled materials wherever possible.
There’s a Robie for you
