Morpho + Luna: slow fashion take on sleepwear

The pursuit of a good night's sleep feels like something of a national obsession right now. From concerns over how much is enough to the quality of your slumber and even the content of your dreams, those hours of rest have never felt more vital.

And while in days gone by we might have booked into a sleep retreat or spa in order to recharge our batteries, the restrictions of the pandemic mean we're seeking out at-home solutions instead.

One of the easiest and most immediate ways to ensure a restful and restorative night's sleep is by looking at what you wear to bed.

Natural, breathable fibres will encourage your body to regulate its temperature, meaning you'll be warm enough to fall asleep easily without the overheating which leads to night-waking.

But not all natural fibres are created equally, and knowing your pyjamas are made with care can make for an even better night's sleep… enter Morpho + Luna, the luxurious London-based sleepwear brand dedicated to slow fashion and elegant design.

Built on a commitment to slow fashion and Italian craftsmanship, Morpho + Luna's traceable luxury sleepwear is produced in family-run factories near Como, Italy, while its pashmina gowns are hand-woven and embroidered in Kashmir.

The brand's wool Ines pyjamas are a fine example of the craftsmanship and know-how that underpin every Morpho + Luna design. While woollen pyjamas might sound like a recipe for a long night of itching, in the expert hands of Morpho + Luna ethically-certified, high-tech New Zealand merino wool is spun into a soft, warm fabric that's perfect to wear throughout the year. Even better, it's machine washable.

If silken slumber is more your thing, then it's hard to beat the brand's decadent Olimpia style: woven from pure mulberry silk of 22 momme (an indication of density and quality of silk) printed with rich stripes and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons.

And if your mind is turning to gifting (well, it is that time of year) there's even a monogramming service provided by expert hand-embroiderers Hand & Lock to make a special purchase truly one of a kind.
