The Beauty of Slow Fashion and Made-to-Order

Written By Anthea Milne

At Thea J Pajamas, we believe that how you rest is just as important as how you live—and we carry that belief into how we design and make each piece.

Born from a simple desire to find the perfect pair of pajamas, Thea J was founded by two sisters—Anthea and Jen—on beautiful Bowen Island. We wanted timeless, elegant pieces made with natural fabrics and intention. When we couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for, we created it ourselves. And we knew from day one: fast fashion wasn’t for us.

Here’s why we’ve chosen to slow down—and why we believe slow fashion is the future.

We Make to Order—Because You’re Not One-Size-Fits-All

When you place an order with Thea J, we begin making your garment just for you.

  • No mass production.

  • No overstocked inventory.

  • No waste.

This allows us to:

  • Adjust details or lengths to better suit you

  • Offer more thoughtful designs rather than chasing trends

  • Focus on quality, not quantity

We Use Natural Fabrics That Breathe With You

We only work with natural fiber fabrics like cotton and linen—materials that feel good on your skin and are kind to the planet.

They:

  • Breathe better, so you sleep more comfortably

  • Soften over time, growing better with age

  • Decompose naturally, unlike synthetics

It’s beauty without compromise. For you, and for the earth.

We Believe in Fewer, Better Things

Slow fashion invites us to rethink how we buy.

Instead of overflowing drawers and fast trends, we create a smaller collection of elegant, versatile loungewear that moves effortlessly from morning tea to an afternoon nap to evening journaling.

Every Thea J piece is designed to be:

  • Comfortable enough to sleep in

  • Elegant enough to answer the door in

  • Timeless enough to keep wearing, season after season

Made to Rest, Made with Care

Our goal is simple: to help you rest well, live slowly, and surround yourself with things that bring you peace and joy.

We hope that when you slip into a Thea J set, you feel the difference. Not just in the fabric, but in the philosophy stitched into every seam.

Because fashion should never be rushed. And neither should your rest.
