When we started Good Girl Collective, our experience with product development was limited. Over the last year, we have learned an incredible amount about product development, sourcing good factories, and making wise choices. With great experience in developing and producing items like makeup bags, we began working on our dream pyjamas last fall. The process turned out to be both demanding and lengthy, but we are so happy to share our journey with you. Here’s how we developed the Strawberry Pyjamas.
Designing the Pyjamas
We had a clear vision for the pyjamas long before production started. The strawberry print was an early wish, and we worked closely with a pattern designer to create the perfect print. Everything, from the pink color to the size and spacing of the strawberries, was carefully considered. In the end, we were left with a design we were very happy with, perfect for summer. We decided that our first launch would be a set of a shirt and pants, made from the softest and best fabric we could find.
Production
After extensive research, we found a smaller, family-run factory that met all of our requirements regarding both working conditions and quality. The factory received our pattern print and started an extensive process of finding materials according to our wishes. The process involved many months of trial and error before we achieved the desired result.
Materials and Sizes
After many rounds of product samples in various materials, we chose a fabric that is incredibly soft, drapes beautifully on the body, and has a cooling effect. Our top priority was that the fabric should be so comfortable that it truly felt like the kind of garment people would want to sleep in. When it comes to sizes, we wanted to be inclusive. We developed our own size chart specifically for our pyjamas. As a small business, we could initially offer sizes XS-XL, but our goal is to expand this range to include everyone. Both Elena and Solveig, the founders of Good Girl Collective, are passionate about pyjamas, and we can honestly say that the Strawberry Pyjamas are the best pyjamas we have ever had, both in terms of material and fit.
Summary
The development of the Strawberry Pyjamas has been challenging, educational, and exciting. No day at Good Girl Collective is the same, and we are grateful to be able to work on what we love and create amazing products for you. We hope you find the process as interesting as we did, and that you will love the pyjamas as much as we do.
