About Desmond & Dempsey
Written by the company
We make fancy pyjamas. But proper ones, you know? Hand-painted prints. Fine cotton. A tuxedo of leisure, if you will. A uniform to celebrate life at home.
They’re the sort of thing that can make everyday pursuits feel a little bit deluxe. We believe that proper pyjamas are to leisure what butter is to toast, a way of turning something quite ordinary into something quite magical.
It all started with women’s pyjamas. Now we make them for men and kids too, plus a handful of other snazzy things for around the home, like slippers, socks, and extra-deluxe robes.
Each collection brings with its prints. Each print is an artwork in its own right, inspired by travel and by life— Spanish palm, Greek myths, graceful tigers—hand-painted in our London studio. They’re printed onto organic cotton, hand-cut and sewn in Portugal. We then wrap them
It’s a product we’re proud of. Really proud of! Fancy pyjamas for unfancy things. A celebration of life at home.

- We always want our PJs to offer a sense of cosiness and ease, but this year—of all years—we want to take things up a notch. We believe that proper pyjamas are what butter is to toast. A way of turning something quite ordinary into something quite magical. We've been making fancy pyjamas since 2014. Our latest collection, LoveSleeps, has just launched. A collection that was inspired by a Monastery and a Temple, on an island off the coast of Naples - Ischia. Joel and Molly, visited in August 2024 for a long weekend and were so moved by the space, by the quiet and creativity that came from rest that our studio has created not only a new seasonal collection, but a new chapter and calling card for D&D: “and on the seventh day there was rest”. The collection pays ode to the heavenly parts of rest. The freedom it allows our minds. It’s also an homage to the summer days that we pray last forever but eventually become a dream.

Monogramming & Gift Wrapping On The House.
A personal touch (literally).
We offer free monogramming for all. Initials, emblazoned across a pocket. A practical, no nonsense luxury. Whether you’re buying for yourself, your crew, your mate, your man, your mother, if a bigger power move exists, we’re yet to hear of it.
Our pyjamas come in a rather splendid box covered in leopards, secured in tissue with a free Sunday Paper to dive into.

Absolutely love this night wear. The fabric is a beautiful light cotton it dries within an hour on a rack. Beautiful, breathable cotton that feels beautiful against the skin..

Customer service was excellent
Customer service was excellent. I had a query, which after an initial communication with an AI bot was handled very efficiently
by one of the D&D team. The robe arrived very quickly and and is beautiful and high quality. The design is so original. I bought it for my son for his birthday and he loves it.

Love love love! Stunning PJ
Love love love! Absolutely stunning PJ. The print, the quality of the fabric. Something about the print makes you feels like you’re on some Hawaïen island. The only downside is the price. I will buy more 💯 but only ~ ONLY ~ when on sale. Full price is unaffordable.
Delivery was impeccable and super fast. Recommend 11/10

Outstanding customer service
My package was lost by the courier, but Desmond & Dempsey handled everything with great care and immediately arranged a replacement. I felt genuinely supported throughout the process — and I absolutely love the bathrobe. Highly recommended!

Disappointed and never again
Having purchased several items from Desmond & Dempsey over the years, my most recent experience has unfortunately put me off buying from them again.
I bought a nightdress, and the strap broke after one use. While I was offered a replacement voucher, it came with restrictions - it could only be used on another nightdress and was valid for 12 months. When I tried to use the voucher on multiple occasions, I encountered repeated error messages. The voucher expires September 2026.
Attempts to contact customer service were equally frustrating. My emails bounced for weeks, and it was only after reaching out via Instagram that I was given an alternative email address.
What stands out most is the lack of flexibility and support, with the continual "sorry". The company offered to “reinstate” a voucher that hadn’t even expired, yet still restricted its use to the same product category. I had hoped to purchase a pyjama set instead, but this wasn’t permitted. Given my concerns about quality after the initial nightdress issue, I had little confidence in buying another nightdress.
I shared my disappointment - including with senior management- and the response fell short of expectations. In the end, I chose not to pursue the voucher at all, as the process has become unnecessarily difficult.
Overall, the experience did not reflect the level of service one would expect from a premium brand.
UPDATE: From the reply, it’s clear that the core issue- making the voucher usable for a nighty purchase - still hasn’t been addressed. Standard practice among other vendors is to ensure vouchers are available for use at any time within their validity period, in my case 12months expiring September 2026; D&D have not met this expectation. The suggestion that the voucher would be “reinstated” goes beyond what is considered necessary under basic principles of fair and ethical customer service. A voucher should simply be issued and fully usable, at any time I choose, for its stated validity period, or not issued at all.

Dear Leesa,
We are so very sorry to hear about your disappointment.
This is certainly not the experience we want any of our customers to have, and we sincerely apologise for your disappointment. Our terms and conditions are always communicated in advance, and while we aim to apply them fairly to everyone, we are always happy to review individual circumstances and make exceptions where possible to ensure our customers feel supported.
We are only able to offer replacement or a voucher for the same category. Sorry this did not work for you this time.
We appreciate your feedback so we can make improvements, Thank you.
With Care,
Team D&D

First time buyer
First time buyer. Love the fabric because it is soft, crisp and cool. Ample sizing so allows room for movement. Modesty lining on top area is added bonus. Communication was timely and accurate. Received order within a week. The packaging is beautiful.

Beautiful pajamas that wash well
Beautiful pajamas that wash well. I ordered one pair after borrowing a friends on a trip, and have since ordered additional pajama sets, the fabric is perfect to stay cozy but not too hot under a duvet.
Delivery was quick, I've ordered multiple times to Canada and it just takes a few days.

Photo inaccurately suggests pyjama bottoms included
Given the price and the picture, I had assumed that I was purchasing both top and bottoms of a pyjama set. I appreciate that it does say a top, however the photograph is misleading. More disappointing, the bottoms were unavailable to buy. As these were a present, I went on to buy some shorts which did not quite match but made do.

Dear Nicky,
Thanks for taking out the time to write us a review.
Sorry to hear about this. Our website includes multiple images of the items when sold as separates. Most images display each piece individually, while additional photos further along show the full set to help customers visualise how the items look together. We apologise if this caused any confusion but arev thankful you shared your feedback.
Hope this makes a wonderful present!
