OUR STORY

Founded by Caitlin Rutherford, Naomi was born out of inspiration.

A year ago, the idea for Naomi sparked.

It began with conversations with friends and family,  that all pointed to the same thing: sleepwear had become an afterthought. Pieces that felt rushed, disposable, and lacking care. That realisation marked the beginning of Naomi. 

What followed was a period of exploration. A simple Pinterest board became a place to gather feelings, not just references, but a mood. Through considered research and refinement, it became clear that New Zealand was missing something: sleepwear that felt elevated yet effortless. Timeless, but still soft. Feminine, without trying too hard.

There were many iterations. Moments of doubt. Slow progress. Then clarity.

Naomi is not trend-led, or season-bound. It is an ongoing expression of rest, designed to move with you, through shifting routines, moods, and moments.

We don’t just design garments; we are shaping experiences. Naomi is a non-seasonal expression of rest, designed to move with the rhythm of your night, or ease the beginning of a slow morning. 

Rooted in simplicity and intention, we work with high-quality, considered bamboo fabrics that’s designed to be lived in. 

Our mission is to redefine rest as something to be experienced, not rushed. By creating sleepwear that feels intuitive, adaptable, and quietly refined, we turn everyday moments into something softer, slower, and more intentional. Because rest isn’t just a routine, it’s a ritual.

COMMUNITY FIRST

Community sits at the heart of everything we do. Each piece is shaped by the needs of our community and thoughtfully developed by us to create sustainable sleepwear for women that fits seamlessly into your everyday routine.

OUR PROMISE

Naomi exists to change the way sleepwear is valued, from an afterthought to something considered, chosen, and returned to daily. We believe in doing less, but doing it well. Creating only what feels necessary, and being transparent in how and why we make it.
