A Fairytale-Led AW26 Sleepwear Collection
Chelsea Peers built this season’s collection around storytelling. Magical, mystical prints run through the collection, set against warm neutrals and earthy tones, with deeper jewel shades and soft accent colours layered in.
The collection spans womenswear in sizes 6 to 28 plus maternity, menswear from S to XXXL, and kidswear for ages 1 to 12. That range lets the brand offer matching styles across a household, not just a single size bracket.
Chelsea Peers timed the launch to land during Sleeptember, the annual awareness month for good sleep health. The collection leans into that theme directly, treating how people wind down as something worth designing for.
Fabrics vary by piece, from soft, breathable organic cotton to plush fleece for colder nights. New TENCEL™ Modal colourways also run through the range. Chelsea Peers highlights the fabric’s soft handle, moisture-wicking properties and natural breathability, useful for regulating temperature through the night. As a certified B Corp, the brand frames these fabric choices as part of its wider sustainability commitments.
Prints and Storytelling
The Dreamscape Kingdom Print is one of the collection’s most detailed designs. Built on a satin base, it layers magical and mystical motifs across the fabric. Chelsea Peers began the design in watercolour before refining it with pencil drawings, and it now appears across several shapes, including a new maxi-length nightdress.
The Mythical Dragon Print is another key design, hand-painted in watercolour and pencil and drawn from fantastical tales and celestial folklore. Dragons soar between suns, stars and ornate keys, while pink ribbons trail through the print like night-sky trails. It appears across organic cotton styles, alongside new fleece dressing gowns for slower mornings. Matching kidswear styles let parents twin with their children.
Gifting With This Season’s Collection
Chelsea Peers designed the collection with gifting in mind, pairing sleepwear with considered accessories and optional gift packaging. The brand positions it for autumn birthdays, thank-you gifts and everyday “just because” moments, with add-ons available at every price point.
Sasha Cherko, Head of Design at Chelsea Peers, says the sleepwear pairs well with the brand’s signature gift box for a finished present. She singles out the new silk eye masks, describing them as a personal favourite
from this season’s accessories.
