Handcrafted luxury loungewear, proudly made in New Zealand.
Born from a desire to slow down and embrace everyday luxury, Carmen Kirstein creates timeless silk and cotton sleepwear designed to be treasured for years to come.
Our Story Begins at Home
Like so many people around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we lived. During lockdown, the fast pace of everyday life came to a halt, giving us the opportunity to reflect on what truly mattered.
With our bespoke fashion business temporarily quiet, we found ourselves drawn to a new idea—creating beautiful clothing that offered comfort without compromising on elegance.
Together, my mum Christl and I began imagining a collection that would feel luxurious to wear, whether relaxing at home or unwinding at the end of the day.
That idea became Carmen Kirstein Luxury Loungewear.
Designed for Life's Quiet Moments
We believe beautiful sleepwear should be more than something you wear to bed. It should make you feel comfortable, confident and effortlessly elegant.
Our collections are thoughtfully designed for slow mornings, peaceful evenings and everything in between, blending timeless style with everyday practicality.
Exceptional Fabrics
Every garment begins with carefully selected natural fibres.
We source luxurious 19 momme silk from trusted suppliers around the world, alongside beautiful cottons and linens chosen for their softness, breathability and quality.
Many of our prints are carefully sourced, while others are exclusive designs created especially for Carmen Kirstein.
Handcrafted in New Zealand
Every Carmen Kirstein garment is proudly designed and handcrafted in New Zealand.
Working in small batches allows us to focus on exceptional craftsmanship, beautiful finishes and attention to detail, creating garments that are made to last rather than follow fast fashion trends.
