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.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We’ve looked into this and can’t see any record in our communications that this was communicated by our team. However, we can see that a replacement pair was sent to you to make sure you received the correct set and to resolve the issue for you.
We hope you’re enjoying your new pyjamas!

Mina went out her way to ensure that my parcel returned to D&D , was routed back to me in time for me to travel with on Wednesday. The pyjamas are a 40th birthday present for my daughter in law.
She kept in touch with me which I appreciated.
The pyjamas also arrived in a beautiful wrapping.
Very happy

Hi there,
Thanks for taking out the time to write us a review.
Sorry to hear this. We’ve taken a look into your order, and it appears that the same sale price shown on our website was applied to your order, with no price change made.
That said, we’d be happy to look into this further. Please reach out to our customer service team with a few more details, and we can investigate this for you, as everything appears correct on our end.
Look forward to hearing from you soon,

The best pyjamas
The best pyjamas, especially for summer and heatwaves - the cotton is thin but not clingy. Beautiful prints. Wonderful customer service, very helpful and patient.

Started charging for returns and whilst I’m sure it’s in the small print they don’t make this very apparent. The fact a lot of their current stock is £29.99 in TK Maxx and on the TK Maxx website makes me worry the company might be having financial issues.

Hi Janet,
Thanks for leaving us a review.
Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Our returns charge is clearly outlined on our website within our Returns Policy, as well as being displayed during the returns process when you log a return through our portal. We do, however, appreciate your feedback and will continue to look at ways of making this even more visible.
Regarding the £29.99 products you’ve seen at TK Maxx, these are excess stock that has been purchased to be sold by TK Maxx, rather than see perfectly good products go to waste. TK Maxx’s pricing is separate from our own and doesn’t reflect the value or pricing of our current collections, nor is it an indication of the financial position of our business.
We really appreciate your support and hope this provides some reassurance.
Take Care,
Team D&D

I paid £10 for guaranteed next day delivery and it did not arrive next day. I ordered before the cut off time and have evidence of that, and waited in all day on Saturday, but it did not arrive. I did arrive on Sunday, but I had plans which I had to cancel, in case it was delivered.

Hi Leigh,
Sorry to hear about your experience with Royal Mail.
They are a separate company from us and we will be sure to pass on this feedback to them. We always recommend reaching out to us directly so we can look and sort such issues for you!
We have refunded the extra delivery charge to you already. x
