About Us
Hi! I’m Kelly, the owner and founder of Daxies Pyjama Company!
Daxies was born out of my love for pyjamas. I LOVE pyjamas. My childhood bestie, Lindy and I would gift each other pyjamas on Birthdays, Christmas, end of year exams and any other occasion that called for a gift.
Im a mom and I love buying my little boys matching pyjamas, the only problem is, I can never find what I’m looking for? I have a picture in my mind of what I’d like to buy, but I can never really find exactly what Im looking for.
I thought, why can’t I find the fabrics I love and make them into the pyjamas I want for my boys? so I did and Daxies Pyjama Co. was born!
Daxies is all about pyjamas.
We’re all about fabric choice, design options and bringing you the best local and international fabrics that I love, and I’m hoping that you love too!
Each pair of pyjamas is lovingly handmade from (mostly) 100% cotton fabric right here in South Africa. We don’t do big quantities and we don’t repeat fabrics. We also offer an embroidery option on all our pyjamas which adds a special personal touch.
A lot of people have asked, why the name Daxies?
And the answer is pretty simple, anyone who knows me or my family knows that we are the biggest dog lovers, we’re actually a little nuts about dogs around here.
I grew up with Dachshunds, if something has a Daxie on it, I probably own it!
Our family tradition, set by my Dad, has been to name our dogs after Formula 1 drivers, these are my precious past and present Daxies over the years:
Ralf (Ralf Schumacher)
Eddie In The Middle (Eddie Irvine)
Sebastian (Sebastian Vettel)
Kimi (Kimi Raikkonen)
and last but not least,
Mika (Mika Hakkinen)
a hybrid Daxie Cross Italian Greyhound-go figure!?
Thanks for following a long on my journey
‘For The Love Of Pyjamas’.
Kelly.
