The work from home culture which is still very prevalent has revolutionised our choice in clothing (medical fraternity notwithstanding, salute them). The Covid pandemic mandated everyone to stay safe by staying home. Zoom calls and microsoft team meetings got a sizeable amount of people to adopt new sartorial choices. Jammies, Kaftans and loungewear has been the order of the day. Upwards of torso, the laptop and mobile screens have been the world’s view of us and our view of them.
As a result clothing, while sitting in cosy cordoned off spaces at home, meant being comfortable and in some cases comfortable and cute. Comfy is cool. Comfy is attractive. Comfy is the order of the day! Unveil a yummy cupcake print PJ set and the icing on the cupcake being you can customise it to your size and have your name embroidered on it. Makes the ideal wear for a twinning pyjama party.

One such desirable Indian name for pyjamas is Homesake.
In our conversation with the founder Richika Agarwal we inquired about what makes her brand unique. “We try and offer freshness in each collection by offering new fabrics that have a mix of contemporary and classic prints. We have also launched loungewear which is a great fun space at the moment in addition to being a new product category for us. Kaftans have worked really well for us and we have given them our unique touch by adding signature tassels and lace. The most recent launch has been our ‘RobeSuits’ and loungewear in flannel which have been extremely well received by our audience”
