The magic that comes with the ‘night-before’ and ‘morning-of’ the big day is truly unforgettable. In a whirlwind of champagne, final preparations and excitement – all often accompanied by a set of matching bride and bridesmaid robes or sleepwear for the bridesmaids – nobody quite forgets those glorious, anticipation-filled moments before the bride takes to the aisle.
Meeka, a brand specialising in sustainable bridesmaid robes and pyjamas (which aren’t just for the day – but ever after too) was conceived when the label’s founder and director, Micaela Serralheiro struggled to find a set of luxurious sleepwear for her own wedding. Deciding to develop her own, Meeka brings sustainable bridesmaid robes and sleepwear items to the floor that can be for the every day, not just the big day.
Built around sustainability, not only are the label’s design inspired by nature (check out those rich, earthy tones, ethical organic materials and recyclable trims), but they aim to take care of nature too. Meeka has notably reduced its carbon footprint markedly by growing trees, using reusable packaging and making their bridesmaid robes and sleepwear 100% recyclable too.
“The whole brand has been built around sustainability. All the products in the collection are made out of 100% organic cotton or a cotton linen blend that is fully recyclable and sustainability sourced. I’ve also eliminated any plastic trims such as buttons and have used wooden buttons instead. My packaging is where I really wanted to make a sustainable impact – the most important being my reusable cotton pouch that each item is packaged in and can thereafter be used as a beach bag, vegetable bag or even a travel shoe bag. This is made out of 100% cotton and really elevates the product as a special gifting piece.” Founder and director, Micaela Serralheiro
On top of of all this, they offer a personal monogramming service so you can add that final flourishing touch to your bridesmaids’ robes and matching pyjamas. What’s not to love? Not only will they make for the ideal gift to grace your bridesmaids with pre-wedding, but they’re something sustainable and beautifully made that they can keep and continue wearing well past the event.
