Drowsy: origin & history.
Brothers Thom and Rich Hemelryk came to Drowsy after running hospitality businesses together. They describe a year of testing fabrics, fillings and shapes before releasing their first mask, followed by wider attention in 2020. The result is recognisable for its generous coverage and padded silk construction, rather than a narrow elastic eye shade. Seasonal colours and special collections now extend that same idea. Our choice, the Sage mask from the Pride & Prejudice collection, introduces a decorative pattern without changing the object’s simple role as an eye covering.

A few pieces tell the story in their own way, through a shape, a material or a familiar gesture.
A closer look.
What catches our eye.
The patterned silk brings an expressive detail to a familiar ritual. We value the material and construction without adopting the brand’s cosmetic or sleep-performance promises.
