Responsible Design

The ambition for Irregular Sleep Pattern is to make joyous, fabulous and durable products in a responsible manner. We call ourselves a ‘responsible’ brand, because even when trying to do it with the lowest environmental impact possible, making new things can never be described as eco. 

We manufacture in limited drops to avoid waste, but also because who doesn’t love owning something that not many other people have? We are not interested in following trends - we’re making things you will love for years to come. 

We use organic cotton (which we recognise is not a wonder fabric, but does have a much lighter footprint on the planet than regular cotton). Our quilted products use recycled polyester. Our core collection is manufactured in a SMETA regulated family business in India.  Our sleepwear is cut to minimise waste, but the very small scraps produced are sent to a nearby NGO where refugee artisans repurpose them into small goods. Some of our small goods (tea towels, washbags + woollen hot water bottles) are made in the UK. 

We are in the process of extending our homeware range, but we have learned that good things take time - we’re not in the business of churning things out. 

We acknowledge there is much room for improvement, but we are a tiny team trying our best, learning and evolving as we go. It’s all a work in progress.
