Just in time for lockdown (hopefully) coming to an end, the luxury pyjama brand Desmond & Dempsey opens the bedroom door and steps out into the bright sunlight. Together with H&M, they have created a capsule collection featuring laidback dresses and kaftans, all in unique prints created by hand and inspired by the Desmond & Dempsey founders Molly Goddard and Joel Jeffery’s birthplace Australia. Palms and botanical elements flourish in repeat patterns or Toile de Jouy-like prints in a colour palette of saffron yellow, dusty pink, azure blue, forest green and soft beige.
“Our prints start with an adventure. It doesn’t always have to be far, but a visit to somewhere that has triggered our imagination.”

Thought we may as well include some of our favourite prints from Desmond and Dempsey; if you would rather stay in and keep the pyjamas on…
We’ve given the archetypal pineapple print a grown-up feel with its simple colour palette. Still, it’s positively cheerful and a real crowd pleaser, one of D&D’s most popular.
We were totally obsessed with the eccentric characters of aristocracy when we came up with The Wild Ones collection. The Bromley Parrot print embraces British maximalism with its bold colourway of pink, teal, blue and splash of red.
The Runaways collection was born out of a fascination for the romance and wild abandon of 1950s Monaco. Our best-selling Soleia print was a nod to the spirit of the time. Now, our cream Soleia offers all the glamour, but with a fresh new feel.
