The word “pajama” actually comes from the Persian Word payjama, which became the Hindi word pae jama. Both of these originally meant “leg covering” and were later anglicized to “pyjama.” Our range of beautiful loungewear for women is made from superior-quality, locally-sourced linen. We only use earthy French flax seeds to produce our material. With their rich and full-bodied textures, bold colours, high thread count and elegant designs, our products are designed to provide wearers with a comfort and look that is unparalleled.
