ABOUT OUR BARBARIAN PRINT

The ornamental forms drifting across our BARBARIAN print hint at Paisley (another staple sleepwear textile pattern) with a dash of outsize botanicals, but are actually based on the letter Z - a recurring theme in the Irregular Sleep Pattern world. Barbarian is named in homage to the epic opening track from our favourite Joan as Policewoman’s collaborative 2021 album with Tony Allen & Dave Okumu: The Solution is Restless.

Listen to Mil talk about designing the Barbarian print here

Available in two colourways: 

Cosmic: Heavy on the blues. 

Olive: Green with a splash of zingy lilac, shaken not stirred.

Listen to the track The Barbarian by Joan as Policewoman here 

Photo below is L - R Judi Rosen, denim queen of NYC, Joan Wasser (aka Joan as Policewoman), Jolene (wearing the Barbarian print), and Mil. And if you look carefully at the reviews under Barbarian Cosmic you'll see one that Joan wrote (which makes us very happy of course!)
