1. Hospitality-Driven Design Philosophy
At DERBAL, we engineer bathrobes that solve real operational challenges for hoteliers:
Problem 1: “Guests steal robes from tropical resorts due to their beach-to-pool versatility.”
Our Solution: Subtle interior RFID pocket for discreet tracking (compatible with DERBAL’s Smart Laundry System) + optional anti-theft magnetic tags.
Problem 2: “High humidity causes mildew in traditional bathrobes.”
Our Solution: Proprietary Aeroweave™ microfiber with silver-ion antimicrobial treatment (test report available here).
Case Study:
The Soneva Jani Maldives saw a 68% reduction in replacement costs after switching to DERBAL’s robes. Their GM notes: “These survive saltwater exposure better than any supplier we’ve used.”
