The best things in life are often the simplest and so it is with The Sleep Shirt. The company’s gorgeous crisp cotton nightshirts began life when Canadian Alexandra Suhner Isenberg bought herself a Nineteenth century cotton shirt at Spitalfields market. Inspired by its simple design she produced two modern versions – a short and long nightshirt in striped cotton. Now the company produces the elegant bib-front shirts in Japanese cotton as well as sweet nighties with drawstring necks, cotton loungepants and shorts and other cotton separates as well as adorable gift sets with matching eye masks. The only problem is choosing which ones to buy – for now we are treating ourselves to an oversized linen night-shirt although we suspect we will be back for more very soon. Although based in Canada the shirts are sold in the UK at the gorgeous Marylebone boutique, Mouki and online at Net-a-Porter.
