About Us

Pure silks. Organic cottons. Papinelle are the purveyors in top-drawer sleepwear you’ll want to wear all day. 

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Papinelle is a sleepwear and lifestyle brand designed for women who value the ritual of relaxation. Each Papinelle piece is designed with a simple goal; to create beautiful sleepwear, ethically made from the softest natural fabrics. 

Papinelle began in Sydney’s Paddington markets in 2003 by Renae James. Following this, the first Papinelle boutique was born on Oxford Street, Paddington in 2004, where our flagship store is still located. Renae and business partner Nicole Kelly have since grown the line to attract retail and media attention, leading to a global expansion of the brand. Renowned for its French inspired patterns and high quality, natural fabrics, Papinelle is now worn by women worldwide.

With an extensive, ethically-developed range offering comfy PJ sets, soft robes and cozy loungewear—Renae and Nicole are committed to producing pieces that make women feel beautiful at every hour of the day. 

Using pure silks and organic cottons, soft hues and feminine cuts—Papinelle is the sleepwear that you’ll never want to take off. 

Today, you will find Papinelle in our five signature stores across Australia and New Zealand. You can also find us in David Jones, Nordstrom and Dillards department stores throughout the USA. Still, it's just the beginning...

Happy shopping & sweet dreams. 

Renae and Nicki
