Since 2020, Carmen Kirstein has been creating sleepwear and loungewear for women who value comfort, quality and timeless style.

Our designs have been developed in consultation with experienced lingerie store owners who work closely with women of all ages, shapes and sizes every day. Their feedback has helped us refine our fits, lengths and fabric selections to create garments that real women enjoy wearing.

Unlike many brands, our collections have been stocked in specialist boutiques and lingerie stores for years, where customers can see and feel the quality for themselves. This ongoing support from independent retailers has helped shape our range and gives us valuable insight into what women are looking for in beautiful sleepwear.

Every garment is carefully made in New Zealand using thoughtfully selected fabrics, with a focus on comfort, durability and attention to detail.

We are proud to be a small New Zealand mother-and-daughter business creating pieces designed to be worn, loved and enjoyed for years to come.

Every Carmen Kirstein garment is carefully made in New Zealand, allowing us to maintain the high standards of quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail that are important to us.

Rather than producing large quantities to sit in a warehouse, each garment is made in small batches or created to order using thoughtfully selected fabrics. This approach allows us to focus on quality over quantity, minimise waste, and create pieces designed to be worn and enjoyed for years.

From cutting and sewing through to the finishing details, we take pride in creating garments that reflect the care and craftsmanship that New Zealand-made products are known for.

We use 19momme silk. This means it has a higher density, keeps its lusture, is more durable and of a higher quality.

100% silk

Hand wash in warm water 

We recommend using SOAK liquid detergent

Drip dry in the shade

Iron on a cool setting with steam will take out the creases and bring the luster back

Dry cleanable

Do not tumble dry

Every Carmen Kirstein garment is carefully made to order in New Zealand.
