Archive by The Sleep Shirt is a limited edition collection created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of The Sleep Shirt. Founded by Central Saint Martins alumni Alexandra Suhner Isenberg in 2012, the brand launched with a single nightshirt whose design was based on a classic 19th century men’s chemise – the most comfortable and stylish thing she had ever slept in. Classic, timeless and beautiful, the Archive Collection reflects what The Sleep Shirt represents: well-made garments that stand the test of time. Read more about the collection.
A mid-calf length nightgown that can be worn as a house dress or sleepwear, the Clementine Nightgown features delicate, 100% GOTS certified organic cotton lace made by a small family-run lacemaker in Germany. The collar and cuff details give an antique feel but the fabrics are straight from contemporary luxury suppliers. A great example of what The Sleep Shirt does best. The linen is a medium weight, it isn’t too heavy but it does feel a bit crispy at first. Once you’ve washed it a few times you’ll find the fabric softens and feels great.
