The new luxury pyjama company favoured by celebrities, Twenty Six Years was launched by Emma-Kate following the arrival of her two children. Emma-Kate trained as a solicitor and consequently a successful eight years at The Jockey Club but wanted to sculpt a career that balanced family life and challenge her creativity. After many years away from Mrs Stanways studio Emma-Kate picked up her paint brushes and created five bold designs to be crafted into stylish ladies sleepwear. The aim: to offer stylish sleepwear that’s practical and designed to be worn daily. 

The designs feature blue lobsters, seahorses, scarab beetles, cockatoos and flamingos. Emma-Kate found a real gap in the market, to provide luxury pyjamas to rival the UKs biggest names without the excessive price tag. 

The range is crafted from the highest quality 100% Aegean cotton. Long cotton fibres ensure strong durable soft cotton that actually improves with age. Twenty Six Years pyjamas offer sophisticated feminine tailoring featuring contrast piping, shell style buttons, drawstring waist generous leg length and pockets.

But why Twenty Six Years? The average person sleeps for a twenty six years of their lives. Emma-Kate decided if you are going to wear pyjamas for such a large percentage of your life, you better be comfortable and stylish. 

Twenty Six Years can now be found online at www.twentysixyears.com as well as in multiple stockist across the U.K. and on www.notonthehighstreet.com
