Production & Wholesale Specialist - Sleepy Jones : Job Details

Who are we:

Sleepy Jones was established in 2013 by Andy Spade. When he looked at the people he admired – artists, writers, musicians – they didn't work and create in suits and ties, yoga gear, or any other fashion fetish. They wore what was comfortable, and sometimes little at all. The result is a collection of supremely comfortable sleepwear, loungewear, underwear, and not-quite-ready-to-wear for men and women inspired by the lifestyles of artists. An everyday uniform for resting, reading, writing, and playing – in or outside the bedroom.

Sleepy Jones exists to help people rest and unplug – in order to reconnect – with ideas, creativity, and with others. We believe that the comfort of being yourself is true style. So be yourself, be comfortable, and the rest will come.
