Papinelle
Australian brand Papinelle has come a long way since its days at the Paddington markets—now beloved for its soft, breathable sleepwear and loungewear. Known for dreamy fabrics like cotton-silk blends, modal, and viscose, Papinelle designs with comfort and calm in mind. These are the pieces you’ll want to wear well beyond bedtime.
At The Foundation, we love their Feather Soft joggers and wide-leg pants, breathable cotton pyjama sets, and luxurious robes you’ll live in. Whether you’re lounging, travelling, or simply treating yourself to better rest, Papinelle blends effortless style with everyday practicality. It’s relaxed Australian luxury, made wearable.
If you’ve never tried their iconic fabrics, we invite you to explore this collection and discover why Papinelle is a customer and team favourite. Sleepwear this comfortable might just become your new daytime uniform.
What makes this sleepwear brand so popular?
It’s the feel of the fabric—soft, lightweight, and soothing on the skin. Papinelle uses breathable blends like cotton-silk and modal that keep you cool and comfortable. Their pieces are thoughtfully cut and beautifully finished, striking the perfect balance between relaxed and refined. It’s sleepwear that feels like a treat, but functions like an essential.
Is it only for bedtime?
Not at all. Many styles are designed to double as loungewear or travel essentials. From wide-leg pants to wrap robes and matching camis, the collection is made to move with you throughout the day. You can easily go from bed to brunch or pair pieces with basics for a comfortable yet polished look.
What are customer favourites in the range?
The Feather Soft joggers and wide-leg pants are bestsellers thanks to their buttery feel. Cotton-modal pyjama sets are also popular for their breathability and comfort. Lightweight robes and sleep camisoles with lace details make great gifts—or self-care upgrades. The feedback is almost always the same: they don’t want to take it off.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes—these are pieces that feel both indulgent and practical. Papinelle sleepwear is a perfect choice for birthdays, Mother’s Day, bridal parties or just to say "you deserve to relax." With sizing that’s generous and styles that suit many preferences, it’s a gift that always gets worn (and appreciated). Even better, many items come beautifully packaged.
How do I care for these pieces?
Wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and avoid tumble drying to preserve the softness and drape of the fabric. If it’s a silk blend, we recommend using a delicate wash or a detergent like Bon Savvy’s Silk Savvy. Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. With proper care, your pieces will stay soft and beautiful wear after wear.
