ABOUT US
KIDS PAJAMAS MADE FROM NATURAL FABRICS
Creating the Good Knighties range is a dream come true for founder Katherine Galp. Disillusioned by fast fashion and the ever-increasing use of polyester in kids’ sleepwear, Katherine decided to design comfortable, long-lasting, super soft children’s pyjamas and loungewear using natural fabrics. The range includes bamboo, hemp, linen and cotton fabrics and trims, ensuring children have the very best and comfiest sleep – no itchies or scratchies, guaranteed.
Katherine was inspired by memories of the beautiful anglaise nighties and cosy flannel pyjama sets carefully stitched by her grandmother when she was a little girl, and set about reviving and reworking the classic nighties and pyjamas of her childhood. By adding a fun and modern twist, Katherine has created a charming collection that is both stylish, comfy and wonderfully nostalgic.
Luxury Fabrics
All our fabric is carefully selected so that we can make the softest pyjamas for our children’s sensitive skins.
Organic Fabric. Natural fabrics such as bamboo, linen and cotton are best for kids’ PJs as they are moisture wicking. This allows your child to remain perfectly comfortable, ensuring a deep, regulated and peaceful sleep.
Sensory Awareness. Your children will love our luxury sleepwear for its cool and airy, soft and silky, or warm and lush feel. Our sleepwear is particularly well suited for children who are sensory seeking. Labels are sewn on the outside of the garment and the size and washing labels are easy to remove.
Sustainable Sleepwear. Good Knighties is mindful of our environmental impact and the importance of integrating sustainable fashion into our lifestyles. We are committed to making our pyjamas affordable, while not compromising on quality or durability.
Thoughtful Design
Our ranges are styled with room to grow, so that your kids’ pyjamas last at least two seasons. High structured yokes allow for generous bodices, which in turn allow for growth in width and height. Our pyjamas have elasticated pants, shoulder ties and, where possible, wide hems.
Versatility. Our pyjamas cover all seasons. For hot summer evenings, we have light sleeveless nighties, baggy shorts, t-shirts and tunic tops in 100% cotton. Once the sun sets and the air gets a little nippy, your little one might want to slip into our swummer (swimming/ summer) gown. For chilly nights we have long cotton pants and grandpa tops – and little ones will love our warm hooded onesies when the temperatures drop.
Most of our range can be easily mixed and matched for in between spring and summer weather. It’s important to us that our designs appeal to the kids who wear them. Although our styles are nostalgic, we add modern elements in terms of print, trims or design that kids love.
Well Crafted
Not only is our look and feel nostalgic, but we also embrace the ethos of care and attention to detail from yesteryear.
All our products are locally manufactured in Cape Town by the Good Knighties Dream Team, a small and close-knit team of talented craftspeople.
Feedback. We value having an open and on-going rapport with our customers. We welcome your feedback and are happy to exchange items that you or your children are not 100% delighted with. Please be sure to use our size guide and feel free to contact us if you need any help or further information.
