Company description
Brand owner and lead designer Tracey Astbury developed the Clementine brand to reflect the lifestyle she knows so many women share. A collection of comfortable yet stylish garments for relaxed weekend wear or to slip into after coming home from a busy day was needed .
Starting the company in 2002, Tracey and her business partner at the time, identified a gap in the market for women who had matured past the “cute and sexy” stage but weren’t ready for the “neck to knee” look either. Women like themselves who couldn’t find beautiful yet affordable and practical sleepwear anywhere. They decided to develop a range of garments that could be worn not just for sleeping but for lounging around the home , travelling or staying with friends. Garments that not only look great, but have attention to detail and fit , and launder well too. The girls decided on the following criteria:-
Natural breathable fabrics were a must. New knit fabrics are available now such as Modal which is made from reconstituted cellulose or plant fibre and ecologically sourced Bamboo which has the same silky soft texture. Both of these are highly absorbent, have a luxurious, soft hand feel and are often stronger than cotton knit fibres which can react more to heat and light. For women who like the feel of soft woven cotton as opposed to a knit, they only use the best quality voile and cotton sateen are used in their classic nighties, pyjamas and robes.
Sizing has to be realistic. Clementine Sleepwear garments are available in Sizes S –XL (S size 8-10, M size 12-14, L size 14-16, XL size 16-18) and the fit of these sizes are for real women with plenty of room in the bust and a long rise in the pant.
Comfort and practicality without compromising style is a consideration in every garment which means that Clementine Sleepwear will always make the wearer feel special . No more need to borrow your partners’ daggy old t-shirt, it’s time to spoil yourself and you deserve it . Quality is a must, we spend more time in our sleepwear than in almost any other garment in our wardrobe and sleepwear will be washed more often too.
Our company motto naturally followed “Luxury, beauty, quality .......enjoy” and we hope you do too.
