A silk sleep mask sewn in a small California studio, with a printed face that sits soft against the skin. The shape is contoured to settle past the eyes and keep the room dark, and a narrow adjustable strap of velvet and elastic holds it in place without pulling at the hair.
The print is a garden in bloom, with yellow, pink and red flowers tangled through green foliage on a white ground. It reads more like a painted textile than a novelty, the kind of pattern you might find on a vintage scarf or a bedroom wallpaper. It sits easily beside a silk pillowcase, a linen duvet or a robe hung on the back of the door.
Keep it on the nightstand for early light and late-night lamps, or fold it into a carry-on for flights and hotel rooms with thin curtains. It also works for daytime naps and for anyone who sleeps better in full dark. Slipped into a pouch with a book, it makes a quiet gift for a frequent traveler.
