Just this week we launched a brand new leopard collection at CACHIA consisting of 6 different prints, in 8 styles + 3 matching kids sets and I made arguably my biggest call to date after co-founding CACHIA 8 years ago:
Our wide leg Harrie style is my favourite pair of CACHIA’s ever!!!
Our original Harrie pair was CACHIA’s first ever multi-wear style, introducing the idea that sleepwear can be transformed into loungewear with the correct choice of fabric, print & fit. The initial launch of Harrie years ago was both a success and a major disaster. Successful because of how much people loved it and a disaster because we sold out in under 2 minutes. Our immediate restock of a much larger quantity sold out again… and again. We’ve continued over the years with the original style consisting of slouchy top & drop-crutch casual pants in different colours and slight iterations, however last year we introduced our new wide leg version. Anyone who already owns a Harrie pair understands the level of comfort that comes with the material and that’s why I’m ecstatic to say we have yet another print that has launched this week!
If you follow me religiously, you would have seen me wearing the Harrie’s throughout my pregnancy, but most notably they were my pair of choice postpartum. Whilst we obviously pride our 100% cotton button up style as a fantastic option postpartum, especially if breastfeeding is part of your journey, I found the oversized comfort & flow that the wide leg Harrie provided was heavenly luxurious as I recovered both in hospital and at home. Plus, the stretch and room that the fabric allows made breastfeeding a simple process.
Fun fact: Our famous CACHIA stretch elastic waistband was initially developed as when I was pregnant with my son 12 years ago, I vividly remember being so uncomfortable in all different pjs because I felt everything dug into my growing belly. We saw a space to create a waistband that provided flexibility and comfort for all bodies, shapes and sizes.
Alright, cut the rambling Sophie. Here’s your go-to list to buy your pregnant self/friend/partner/etc/etc/etc.
STEEL HARRIE
Well, it doesn’t need to be the STEEL set. We currently have multiple options of Harrie’s online including plain black, traditional Gigi leopard, short sleeve, long sleeve… your options are endless. But if you want to feel, or make someone else experience, luxury at an affordable price, you must purchase the Harries. Again, my favourite is the wider leg style for a more oversized, flowy feel.
GIGI
I’ve got your baby shower gift sorted because GIGI comes in a huge extended range. Picture this: you put together a gift box for your mumma-to-be consisting of a pair of 100% cotton GIGI pjs (available in winter or summer styles), matching baby onesie, bib & headband, sleep mask, giant blanket and shower cap. All matching! As a mum of three, I would adore such a thoughtful gift.
PLUM - POINTELLE
Have you worn pointelle? Because I hadn’t until we launched our pointelle sets at CACHIA and I am currently writing this from a design meeting at our office where we are going through prints & I’m suggesting alottttt of pointelle! They are the perfect combo of cosy warmth and airy lightness. The detailing adds a little bit of chic, a little touch of luxury. And the plum colour is totally on trend right now.
FOREVER BLUSH
Ok I’m throwing a little random one in here as it’s actually part of our bridal range, however… if you’re after your instagram-worthy hospital pic to post to announce the arrival of your beautiful new baby girl… FOREVER BLUSH is the set! Crafted from silky-soft satin with an elegantly designed and subtle pink leopard print. They scream “I have it all together and I’m ignoring the stitches in my fanny!!”
ESSENTIALS BAG + 3-PACK TRAVEL SET
Please don’t let anybody fool you into thinking you need a designer bag, or even one that costs over $100. It ends up with empty packets of dry wipes, spewy bibs and pad wrappers anyway. And no matter how bougeé the bag is, you’ll still lose the dummy at the bottom. Our CACHIA Essentials Bag (under $50!) is big enough to fill it with crap as we all do, sturdy enough to be thrashed around in the back of your boot and my favourite - it’s wipable!!! Made with a durable and water resistant fabric, you’re simply wiping off all the spills and spews in one swift movement.
