There’s nothing sweeter than kids in pjs, so I was thrilled when I heard that Hanna Andersson and Dusen Dusen were coming together to create an exclusive, limited-edition collection. Their pajamas, T-shirts, sweatshirts and socks — for babies, kids and adults — are an explosion of stripes and colors.
To celebrate the launch, we invited some neighborhood families over for brunch at Dusen Dusen’s studio.
How cute is the Dusen Dusen team?
“I grew up wearing Hanna Andersson,” says Ellen, the founder. “The final assortment came out even better than I’d imagined.” Dusen Dusen’s bold patterns are always so fun and playful.
When our friends arrived, we ate banana bread, frittata, and fruit, and everyone wore their pajamas. It felt like the morning after a sleepover.
We jumped on the bed…
…chatted with friends…
…and read books.
We also did crafts, like making masks inspired by the design of the iconic Dusen Dusen everybody face.
We filled out “about me” pages, where kids used stickers to share their favorite colors, animals, and foods.
And took photos with an old-school polaroid.
Spending the morning in Hanna pajamas felt so good. For more than 40 years, they’ve made pieces with bright, never-fading colors and soft, comfortable fabrics. Toby and Anton have worn them for years, and now I’m thinking of getting mix-and-match sets for their cousins this holiday.
Finally, after a couple hours, it was time for naps. Such a beautiful morning.
See the full Hanna Andersson x Dusen Dusen collection here, if you’d like. What are your favorite pieces? What would you wear for movie nights and pancake mornings? I LOVE this colorway and this fun T-shirt.
