About Cat's Pyjamas Sleepwear

We make luxurious, handmade sleepwear in our atelier in the Australian Capital Territory. Our essentials range covers sleepwear and loungewear wardrobe staples (Jet Pants, camis, Boyfriend shirts, Tee shirts and robes) in pure cotton, linen and jersey which can be worn casually or with pieces from our seasonal and/or luxury prints range.

We stick with natural fibres and everything is made in accordance with the principles of the ‘living wage’. Ethical manufacture and dedication to the beauty of the art of handmade is pivotal to our practises.
