Description

The Apus Gold Silk Sleep Mask is one of the most personal prints in The Beauty Sleeper archive.

Created in collaboration with a Danish print designer, the design draws its inspiration from the work of Johannes Larsen and the distinctive world of Faaborg Museum, a place closely connected to the landscape of Funen where The Beauty Sleeper's founder, Lotte Barnholdt Mahony, grew up.

Crafted from 100% mulberry silk and softly padded with natural wool, its generous shape blocks out unwanted light to create a cocoon of darkness around the eyes. Soft and comfortable against the skin, it is designed to help you settle into sleep and remain undisturbed by changes in light throughout the night and early morning.

Rich in colour and detail, Apus Gold brings something unexpected to the bedside. A print made to be admired, and a sleep mask made to be used.

Handmade in small quantities. An exclusive archive print created for The Beauty Sleeper.

Why Darkness Matters

Light is one of the most powerful signals the body uses to regulate our natural sleep-wake cycle. Even low levels of ambient light, from a streetlamp or early morning sun, can make complete darkness surprisingly difficult to find.

By blocking out unwanted light, a sleep mask creates a consistently dark environment that can help you settle into sleep and remain undisturbed by changes in light throughout the night and into the early morning.

Generously shaped to provide comfortable coverage around the eyes, The Silk Sleep Mask creates a cocoon of darkness, whether at home, while travelling or sleeping somewhere unfamiliar.

Craftsmanship

Our pieces are designed in Copenhagen and handcrafted in small quantities by a family-run sewing studio in Shanghai, a city with a long tradition of working with silk.

We work closely with our Danish-based partner, who oversees the making of each piece. Every piece is carefully cut, sewn and finished by hand, with close attention to the details that make it comfortable to use and beautiful to live with, night after night.

For selected designs, we work with surplus and deadstock fabrics, allowing beautiful existing materials to find a new purpose.

Fabric & Care

This handcrafted sleep mask is made from 100% pure mulberry silk on both the exterior and lining, chosen for its exceptionally smooth, soft feel against the delicate skin around the eyes.

Our fabrics are digitally printed in small batches by our OEKO-TEX certified supplier using Azo dye-free inks and minimal water. A layer of natural wool sits between the silk, adding gentle insulation and giving the mask its softly padded, comfortable feel.

Silk and wool are naturally breathable fibres, helping the mask feel comfortable against the skin throughout the night.

Wash on a wool or silk programme at a maximum of 30°C using a specialist wool and silk detergent. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on low heat if needed.

The Beauty Sleeper Apus Gold silk hot water bottle lifestyle — natural warmth for body and mind

Faaborg Museum

Apus takes its name from the constellation of the bird of paradise and was inspired by childhood visits to Faaborg Museum and the golden peacock motifs found in the wall paintings of Danish artist Johannes Larsen.

I grew up in Faaborg, and the museum has been part of my life since I was a child. The peacocks that move through Johannes Larsen's decorative paintings, bold and beautiful against the warm walls, stayed with me. When the time came to create a print that felt truly personal, I returned to them.

The Apus Print

Against a warm golden background, peacocks with luminous teal tail feathers perch among branches and soft lavender peonies in full bloom.

Amber, turquoise, grey and lavender come together in a richly detailed print inspired by the colours and decorative beauty of Johannes Larsen's peacocks.

Sleep, The Foundation of Beauty

We have always believed that sleep is one of the foundations of how we look and feel.

Before serums, supplements and skincare routines, there is sleep. Night after night, it gives the body time to rest and recover, and its effects are often visible in how we look and how we feel the following day.

This is why The Silk Sleep Mask remains at the heart of The Beauty Sleeper. By creating darkness around the eyes, it helps protect the conditions for uninterrupted sleep, whether at home, while travelling or when morning light arrives before you are ready for it.

Because sometimes the most important part of a beauty routine is simply a good night's sleep.

The Beauty Sleeper Story

The Beauty Sleeper began with a simple desire to create a sleep mask beautiful enough to leave on the bed rather than hide in a drawer.

What started as a personal search for better sleep soon grew into a collection of objects for sleep and rest, inspired by travel, beautiful interiors and the things we choose to live with night after night.

Today, The Silk Sleep Mask remains at the heart of everything we do. Each one is handmade in small quantities, combining natural materials and careful craftsmanship with a design made to last beyond seasons.

Questions Before Bed?

A Few Things to Know

Is a Silk Sleep Mask Good for Sensitive Skin?

Silk can be a particularly comfortable choice for sensitive skin because its naturally smooth surface creates very little friction against the delicate skin around the eyes.

Rather than rubbing or pulling as you move during the night, the silk glides softly against the skin. Our Silk Sleep Masks are lined with 100% pure mulberry silk, so only the smooth silk sits directly against your face.

Does the Sleep Mask Block Out Light?

Yes. The Silk Sleep Mask is generously shaped and softly padded to provide comfortable coverage around the eyes and block out unwanted light.

Its larger shape helps create a cocoon of darkness, protecting your sleep from streetlights, bright rooms and changes in light throughout the night and early morning.

This makes it equally useful at home, during the lighter months and while travelling.

Why Choose a Silk Sleep Mask Instead of Cotton?

Silk has a naturally smooth surface that creates less friction against the skin than cotton, making it particularly comfortable to wear around the delicate eye area throughout the night.

It is soft, lightweight and breathable, allowing the mask to sit gently against the face as you sleep. Silk is also less absorbent than cotton, so it is less likely to absorb the skincare products you apply before bed.

For something that rests against your skin night after night, we believe silk is simply the better choice.

How Should I Care for My Silk Sleep Mask?

Wash your Silk Sleep Mask on a wool or silk programme at a maximum of 30°C using a specialist wool and silk detergent. We recommend placing it in a washing bag for extra protection and washing it separately from heavier items.

Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape the mask while damp and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on low heat if needed.

Why Should I Use My Sleep Mask Every Night?

We believe a sleep mask is most beneficial when it becomes part of how you sleep every night, rather than something you reach for only when travelling or when a room feels too light.

By creating a consistently dark environment around the eyes, it helps protect your sleep from changing light throughout the night and early morning. Used night after night, your sleep mask also becomes a familiar part of going to bed, at home and wherever you sleep.

Soft, comfortable and made for nightly use, The Silk Sleep Mask is designed to be slept in every night, for years.
