Inside the Silk Pajamas collection: 19 sets designed for beauty sleep

Mira tucks her phone into the nightstand at 10:47 p.m., slides under the duvet, and feels the cool slip of 22 momme mulberry silk against her collarbone. By morning, the creases that usually ring her eyes have softened; her shoulder-length bob, the one that tangles by sunrise every other night of the week, still swings free. That single shift — from a brushed-cotton set she loved for years to the right weight of silk pajamas — is the reason we built an entire 19-piece collection around the question: which weight, which silhouette, which color is right for the way you actually sleep?

What this collection represents

The silk pajamas collection is built on a quiet premise: sleepwear should be lived in, not saved for special occasions. Each of the 19 pieces is cut from 100% mulberry silk — the long-fiber silk woven by Bombyx mori silkworms fed only on mulberry leaves — and graded by momme, the unit that measures silk weight the way thread count measures cotton. Heavier momme means denser weave, more drape, more longevity. Lighter momme means airier hand-feel and a softer fall against the skin.

Where most sleepwear brands pick a single weight and call it a day, we organized the collection around three: a featherlight 16mm layer for warm sleepers and humid summers, a balanced 19 momme that handles three-season wear, and a substantial 22–30 momme tier for cool bedrooms and anyone who treats their pajamas like a second skin for years. The result is a wardrobe, not a one-off purchase — and a set of options that lets you choose by climate, by skin sensitivity, and by how much silk you want to feel against your body at 2 a.m.

Design pillars

• Momme-weight transparency. Every listing names its momme count — 16, 19, 22, or 30 — so you can compare density the way you would compare thread count. No mystery fabric, no marketing euphemism.
• Tailored-not-frilly silhouettes. Notched lapel collars, button-front closures, piped cuffs and clean hems are the recurring vocabulary. Even the printed sets read polished rather than novelty.
• Color that flatters at rest. The palette leans into muted brights — Lotus Pink, Lotus Root, Light Apricot, Lavender Purple, Dusty Pink, Navy, Gray-Blue — alongside grounded neutrals like Black, White, and Lime Green. Nothing neon, nothing that will look tired after the third wash.
• Pieces that leave the bedroom. Every set is cut long enough, finished cleanly enough, and styled restrained enough to step onto the morning coffee run, into a video call at the kitchen counter, or onto a flight without feeling underdressed.

Featured pieces

Cat Print Short Sleeve Set — playful warm-weather staple

For the sleeper who runs hot and refuses to take herself too seriously. The Cat Print set is cut from 19 momme mulberry silk in a saturated gold tone, scattered with small white cat silhouettes (see Attached Image 1: a model in a short-sleeve button-up and matching shorts, hand tucked into her pocket, eyes half-closed against a beige backdrop). The shorts hit mid-thigh, the top falls loose at the hip, and the entire set is light enough for August bedrooms with the windows cracked.

Sweet Lotus Pink Piping Set — the everyday neutral that isn't neutral

If your default silk pajamas are black but your morning self craves something softer, this is the compromise. Cut from 22 momme mulberry silk — the heaviest weight we offer outside the 30 momme flagship — the Sweet Lotus Pink set has a faintly rosy body, black contrast piping along the notched collar, button placket and cuffs, and a long-sleeve top with matching full-length pants (Attached Image 2: a model seated on a white block, ponytail low, one hand resting on her collarbone, dried pampas in a vase beside her). It reads as loungewear on a Sunday, as sleepwear at night, and as a polished top-and-pants combination if a delivery arrives mid-morning.

Ivory Piping Short Sleeve Set — white silk without the worry

White silk is the piece most people are afraid to buy because they imagine coffee on Tuesday morning. Our Ivory Piping set is cut from 19 momme mulberry silk in cool optic white, with the same fine black piping that grounds the Lotus Pink version — a detail that visually anchors the set so it never reads as a hospital gown (Attached Image 3: a model in a full-length studio shot, dark hair tucked behind one ear, looking down at her hands, tan fluffy slippers grounding the silhouette). It is the set most frequently gifted to brides by friends who understand that honeymoon packing lists are short.

Lavender Long Sleeve Set — 16mm silk, year-round workhorse

For sleepers who want silk without the weight, the Lavender Long Sleeve set is cut from 16 momme mulberry silk — the lightest weave in the collection — in a soft lavender-purple body with subtle silver piping along the notched lapel, cuffs and hem (Attached Image 4: a model in a minimalist white studio, hand raised thoughtfully to her chin, dried flowers on a white pedestal to her left). The fabric skims rather than drapes, breathes more openly than the heavier weights, and is the set most often packed for travel.

30 Momme Long Sleeve Set — the flagship, for the forever-pajama buyer

The 30 momme long sleeve set is the densest silk we weave into sleepwear. The fabric has a heavier hand-feel and a more pronounced drape, the kind that holds a crease in the cuff and a silhouette across the shoulder. Available in Lotus Pink and Navy Blue, sized M through XXL. It is the set you buy when you want a single pair of silk pajamas that you will still be wearing in five years.

Qipao-Inspired Belted Nightgown — silk with a story

The single nightgown in the collection draws on the qipao silhouette — a tailored blazer collar, a defined belted waist, a high side slit — and translates it into 19 momme mulberry silk in a soft Gray-Blue. It is the piece for someone who finds two-piece sets too constraining at the waist, or who wants a silk layer that doubles as a dress when worn over a slip.

Oasis Print Long Sleeve Set — printed silk without the preciousness

The Oasis Print set uses the same 19 momme base as our solid sets, but finishes the fabric in a watercolor-inspired print that reads as vacation-on-a-canvas rather than pattern overload. Long sleeve, full-length pants, sized S through L. The set that catches sunlight through a hotel window best.

Notch Lapel Loungewear Set — 19 momme, 11 colors, the most-picked

Our most-collected set. Cut from 19 momme mulberry silk, the Notch Lapel set comes in eleven colors — Black, Navy, Dusty Pink, plus eight others — and is the silhouette most first-time silk pajama buyers reach for. Long sleeve, full-length pants, classic notched lapel. A wardrobe staple that earns its hanger space.

How to wear (occasion + styling)

For warm sleepers and August bedrooms. The Cat Print Short Sleeve set in gold, or the Lavender Long Sleeve set in 16 momme — both breathe openly and wash through a humid night without clinging. Pair either with bare feet on tile or with the natural-fiber slippers you already own.

For the slow Sunday at home. The Ivory Piping Short Sleeve set in white, or the Sweet Lotus Pink piping set in 22 momme. Both have enough structure to read as a coordinated top-and-trouser combination if a friend drops by, and enough softness to nap in at noon.

For the trip. The Lavender Long Sleeve set (16 momme) folds small, or the Oasis Print set for a destination that warrants a print. Either rolls into a carry-on without the bulk of a heavier cotton set.

Common questions

What does momme actually mean, and which should I pick? Momme (mm) measures the weight of silk fabric — higher numbers mean a denser, heavier weave. 16 momme is featherlight and best for warm sleepers; 19 momme is our most-collected weight and handles three seasons; 22 momme has more drape and longevity; 30 momme is the densest silk we weave into sleepwear. If you are choosing your first set, 19 momme is the most forgiving starting point.

How do I wash mulberry silk pajamas without ruining them? Hand wash in cool water with a pH-neutral detergent, roll in a towel to press out water, and air-dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing. For a fuller walkthrough of care across our silk pieces, our shopping FAQs cover detergents, drying racks and stain treatment.

Are silk pajamas worth it if I run hot at night? Mulberry silk is naturally temperature-regulating — it wicks moisture and breathes more openly than most synthetic satin alternatives. If you are a particularly warm sleeper, choose a 16 momme or short-sleeve silhouette from the silk pajamas collection rather than the heavier 22 or 30 momme weights.

Do you ship silk pajamas with a gift message? Yes. Most sets arrive in a branded box and can be sent with a printed card; details are on our contact page if you are ordering close to a date.

Pro tip: if you are between sizes on a long-sleeve set and you run cold at night, size up rather than down. Silk drapes; a slightly relaxed fit through the shoulder and thigh keeps the fabric moving against your skin, which is what makes mulberry silk feel temperature-regulating rather than simply warm.

Sleep is the only beauty routine most of us run on autopilot, eight hours a night, three hundred nights a year. Choosing a weight of silk that matches the way you actually sleep — your room temperature, your movement, your willingness to hand-wash — turns that autopilot into a small daily luxury.
