Behind the Print: Dragon Dreams
Dragon Dreams: Introducing Our Fairytale-Inspired Pajamas
We love pushing the boundaries on imaginative new prints, especially designing ones that you’ll never find anywhere else. There’s something enchanting about a friendly dragon, so it was incredibly enjoyable to create a scene reminiscent of vintage children’s books and animated fairytales. The Jersey Devil pattern was so popular for its dragon-like appearance, so we thought it would be special to add Dragon Dreams into our collection!
What Inspired Our Dragon Dreams Print
My family and I had a great trip to the Netherlands last summer. So when we stumbled upon the Muiderslot Castle, I thought it was incredibly inspiring for a pattern. We’ve had some requests for cottages, and a castle seemed close enough! The castle had such fun striped doors (which inspired our stripe print) and lots of amazing textiles and decorative objects throughout. Of course our Print Designer Christiane had to include some whimsical floral elements inspired by medieval manuscript paintings and tapestries.
Christiane loves fantasy stories, especially when they involve mythical creatures! Whether it’s The Last Unicorn, Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia, she’s all about them. She even started an adorable new tradition with her partner of listening to audiobooks of our childhood fantasy favorites on long car drives. So this print is a true representation of her interests, and I could not love that more.
Shop Our Dragon Printed Pajamas and Sherpa
I love the moody, jewel-tone color palette and feel like it’s the perfect way to cozy up on cold evenings this fall while still feeling bright and optimistic. Along with our usual cotton sleepwear styles, Dragon Dreams also comes in a new Sherpa Poncho. I’d been wanting something plush and cozy to wear when walking the dog and had developed the sherpa robe in India on our last design and development trip. I thought it would be so fun to use the same materials for a popover that is easy to wear at home or out of the house. It’s perfect for attending sporting events, strolling about, or any sort of outdoor activity where you want to be cozy and fun. It’s easy to pair with legging or denim and you’ll be sure to get lots of compliments.
