Kathryn says ‘I am so excited to be partnering with such a prestigious brand and the amazing team at the Hilton London Metropole. It’s always been my favourite hotel brand since I was child, and to have my business, which I started from scratch 5 years ago, now be supplying pyjamas to their guests, is such a ‘pinch-me’ moment. It really shows how far I have come on my entrepreneur journey, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to share My Christmas Pyjamas with the wonderful guests of the Hilton London Metropole. My ambition with My Christmas Pyjamas really is limitless, and I cannot wait to spread the magic of Christmas with more and more families through this amazing partnership!’

It was August 2018, and I was living in Sydney after taking a couple of years out to see the world. I had planned to go back home to the UK for Christmas and my brother (who lives in Melbourne) was coming home too, and we were all so excited and I said to my Mum that we should all get matching pyjamas, but the problem was… I didn’t know where I could get them from!
And, that’s where sister company, My Christmas Pyjamas, was born. I worked day and night trying to find patterns and prints that I loved, and soon became obsessed with the idea of the whole family in matching pyjamas. Six weeks later, we went live!
The following year, I launched matching sets for pets. This was a success and the company grew year on year. But then I had a thought… Why stop at just Christmas? I absolutely love what I do and wanted to expand my company to all year round and so here we are!
More recently, you may have seen me on primetime BBC show, The Apprentice! And, if you followed my journey, you will know that I made it to the final, after battling my way through 12 tough weeks of challenges to become Lord Sugar’s business partner. Unfortunately, I didn’t win Lord Sugar’s investment, but following on from the final episode, I have decided to rebrand ‘My Everyday Pyjamas’ to ‘Pyjamily’!
