Our very first pyjama set arrives by way of France, developed in collaboration with our good friends at De Bonne Facture and made by the skilled artisans of Atelier Le Textile, just outside of Paris. What may initially seem like an unlikely piece is quickly explained by our shared fascination with vintage clothing, exceptional textiles, and traditional craftsmanship

The story begins at the famed Saint-Ouen Flea Market in Paris, where we spent an afternoon exploring the stalls alongside De Bonne Facture's founder, Deborah Neuberg. Somewhere among the endless racks of vintage clothing and assorted curiosities, we stumbled upon a particularly remarkable men's pyjama set. Its proportions, construction, and thoughtful details immediately caught our attention, inspiring us to recreate the garment through our own design perspective and textile resources, and with the expertise of Atelier Le Textile's artisans.

While this initial discovery provided the foundation for the silhouette, the fabric draws inspiration from another corner of French history. In researching the traditional dress of the Camargue region in southern France, the De Bonne Facture team discovered vintage photographs of gardians, the region's horseback cattle herders, wearing similarly patterned clothing. Their distinctive checked garments provided an unexpected point of reference for the Camargue Check, woven in Japan from an exceptionally soft, brushed cotton flannel.

Bringing these two historical references together, our Camargue Check Pyjama Set retains the defining characteristics of that original flea-market discovery, from the spread collar and piped seams to the generously proportioned pockets, button fly, and elastic waistband. The Japanese flannel offers substantial warmth, a beautifully soft hand, and the kind of material quality we typically reserve for our finest shirting, while the expertise of Atelier Le Textile brings every detail to life through traditional French production techniques. Say it with us: et voilá!
