The Beauty Sleeper Lepus Camel Brown Stripes sleep mask front view — limited edition collaboration

Lepus

$280.00 USD

Description

The Lepus Silk Sleep Mask began with a silk tie I found at Times Up Vintage, my favourite vintage boutique in Copenhagen.

Its graphic stripes in dark chocolate, warm brown, caramel and cream caught my eye and became the starting point for Lepus, created in collaboration with Copenhagen fashion boutique Holly Golightly.

Crafted from 100% twill 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.

Graphic, playful and a little unexpected, Lepus brings something different to the bedside. Beautiful enough to leave on the pillow, comfortable enough to wear until morning.

Handmade in small quantities. Designed exclusively for The Beauty Sleeper in collaboration with Holly Golightly.

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.

A layer of natural wool sits between the silk, adding gentle insulation and giving the mask its softly padded, comfortable feel. Both silk and wool are naturally breathable, 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 Lepus Print

Inspired by a vintage tie, bold horizontal stripes run across the silk twill in dark chocolate, warm brown, caramel and cream. It is a palette that belonged to the 1970s and has never really needed to leave, graphic and confident and completely at home on a bedside table.

This print was created in collaboration with Holly Golightly, for many years one of the most iconic fashion boutiques in Scandinavia. The boutique no longer exists, which makes this design something rarer still: a piece of Scandinavian fashion history, translated into silk and made to be slept in.

The Beauty of Simplicity

In a world of sleep apps, gadgets and endless advice, some of the things that support sleep remain remarkably simple.

Darkness. Comfort. Consistency.

A sleep mask offers something very straightforward: darkness when the world around you is not dark. At home, while travelling or when early morning light arrives before you are ready for it.

No charging. No screens. No noise. Just complete darkness, soft comfort and something you can use night after night.

Questions Before Bed?

A Few Things to Know

A Softer Way to Sleep

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.
