Company History
The Rose family first started in the nightwear industry in 1926 when Lou Rose, Derek Rose's father, set up in business.

In the mid 1950s Derek Rose joined his father in the pajama business until 1975 when Derek Rose Pyjamas was born.
Over
the coming years Derek Rose's reputation for the finest quality
nightwear grew and his list of customers today includes leading
stores and boutiques around the world. Derek Rose Pyjamas won the
prestigious Queen's Award for Export Achievement in 1987 and is
still recognised worldwide as a leader in its field.

In the early 1990's Derek Rose welcomed his
daughter Nancy Rose-Pagani into the business. Nancy went on to
successfully build the export sales whilst also designing the nightwear
collections. She still leads the design team whilst raising her family.

In 2003 the third generation management
of the business was further expanded after Sacha Rose, Derek
Rose's son, joined the business as Joint Managing Director.

Today's business retains the core values
initially instilled by Lou Rose and developed by Derek Rose - quality,
passion for design and great service.
What sets us apart?
Derek Rose specialises in the
highest quality men's and ladies' pajamas, dressing gowns, nightshirts,
loungewear and boxer shorts. We export over two
thirds of our night wear throughout the world to the finest
boutiques and department stores in most cities and towns from Norway to
Australia, and Hong Kong to Argentina.
The success of Derek
Rose is based on the design, fabric, quality of
construction and impeccable presentation of the merchandise. The
satin stripe pyjamas for which we have become known worldwide are
made from 2-fold yarn in the satin, giving the cloth more depth, a
brighter sheen and longer wear. All designs are exclusive to Derek Rose.
