The pyjamas went sold out due to their dual appearance in the same issue of Vogue.

Von Halle commenced her label in 2011 inspired by the lounging pyjamas worn by Coco Chanel in the 1920s and soon celebrated selling to the esteemed. Offering an amalgamation of luxury, glamour and comfort , the designs did unexpectedly well and displayed longevity in the industry.
