starting my own clothing line🧸🪡 creating my dream pajama collection! designing, sampling, packaging

[@joylipumano]

I appreciate you wanting to make a high quality pajama set, wanting the price to match the value of the laborers’ hard work, and keeping the price affordable for your customers.

[@claireabsil149]

I find the design really cute and I hope we'll be able to see the pijamas on another size model when they'll be available for purchase. If you ever do others pyjamas, could you consider cotton as the material? It's sooooo much easier to clean and can be put in a higher temperature in the washing mashing (really useful during winter so all germs are killed)

[@lauren-kitsuneroach]

yes!!! i was thinking this too! a lot of her pajamas look cotton to me so i hope she’s partial to this idea 😅❤

[@userunknown-bf6oo]

The material seems very thin.

[@lainiwakura1776]

But hot water wears clothes out faster and as long as you use soap and wash your hands frequently, you don't need to worry about germs.

[@lickinglemons]

It's clear how much care and love went into every aspect of these pajamas. However, I feel conflicted about the use of silk, knowing that it involves harm and death to animals in its production. It's hard for me to reconcile that with the soft and cozy vibes I associate with you and your brand.

[@goaticorn8702]

Yeah, I was gonna say that like I don't think the pajamas the way they're styled right now would fit me. Maybe a curvy girl model/slightly bigger?

Please make some sets out of cotton. If you discussed this in vid I'm sorry I'm commenting before. I've been looking everywhere for a pj set that is cute but also cotton. I don't want satin and I hate the super stretchy stuff in stores

[@Orihimex3]

Same 🥺Honestly this would have worked better marketed as a cute lounge set, maybe? It makes a bit more sense considering the materials choice, the pockets and the dry clean only in my eyes. Pyjamas usually tend to get changed and washed more frequently, that's why a lot of people probably are asking about cotton options.

[@roses7015]

They are so cute! But as a consumer I would never purchase pj's that are dry clean only. I don't have the money or time for that, and even if I could still throw them in the washer I would rather invest in a pj set that's designed to be washed at home. I'll definitely be rooting for you and will definitely be interested if you come out with a cotton set!!

[@Likelyfairy]

I agree 😊

[@bonnieroots3019]

Me too.

[@nicolebejarano4223]

OMG I KNEW IT! I saw the pijamas samples hanging in the background of your office room at your house on previous vlogs with the "ahn studio" logo + some spoilers u sent on the bagel club on ig AND EVERYTHING CONNECTED, i thought "omg she is gonna drop some pjs" and I WAS RIGHT💖CONGRATS GIRL💐🌼

[@annikasleaf]

thank you!! 💕

[@nicolebejarano4223]

[@AmarynnH]

Annika, if they keep rescheduling the meetings just because they can't finish a small sample, i recommend going to a different manufacturer. Because if they're doing this to you now, who knows how reliable they'll be in the future. Another red flag for raising the prices since the first meeting. We had a similar situation like this happen over here about housing blueprints for building, and after 4 months of them toying with us, we told them off. Be careful and watch out for the money hungry businesses.

[@robuttrock]

market prices are not always consistent across the board. Raw material costs fluctuate regularly in any industry, so it's not uncommon for a material that you originally signed off on to raise or lower in price. That is something to take into consideration with regards to the increase in *material* prices, which is what she was talking about.

[@sanah.i7803]

I love how you put the intro audio at last , i missed it at the beginning of the video, And it feels like you're saying "i know you would have missed it so imma put it at the last"❤❤❤

[@bubbysmom]

This vlog made me cry. It is so beautiful how much hard work and passion you put into your new clothing line. Then again you put your heart and soul into everything you do in your shop. It’s just really touching how involved you were with the fitting and the materials and the details and pockets! Although you wanted us to have the best quality silk there was in the beginning, you should know that we don’t even need it ! we know your whole soul, blood sweat and tears went into every thought into these sets. And that is worth more than anything 🤍 take care friend 🧸

[@haleylynhuds]

this is so late, but as a neurodivergent girly, clothing tags that stick out are my archnemesis especially for pjs😩 i know your tags are going to be super cute so i dont want to have to cut them out haha (bc i WILL be purchasing every set🩷.)

[@avg18]

We have come a looooong way since just making stickers!!! The PJs look very cute. Wishing you the best with this new product 🎉🎉🎉

[@pluvvio]

once you've finished the production process of this particular pyjama set, it would be really nice if you'd perhaps make a full sleeved pyjama set + pants too, that would be really nice!! btw its so so nice to see how far you have come, i think its so easy to be constantly be stressed about moving forward but when you look back, you've come so far, i'm proud of you!! from making youtube videos during quarantine, to starting your business selling stickers, and then cups + other stuff and now you're doing this!! you've come so far! and have inspired so many people with your videos without even realising it! i watched your videos since the beginning and you're definitely one of my comfort youtubers so thank you for showing your process and showing the unfiltered, raw behind the scenes of having a business ❤❤ also, this a bit random but i think you'd love listening to, letter to my 13 year old self by laufey !

[@roseelise]

Congratulations on your first Pajama set!! They turned out super cute! Would love a more ethical, plant based fabric option in future products!

[@annikasleaf]

adding to my notes 🫡

[@Alice-is-hungry]

Hey Annika! I’ve been watching your vids since you first started your small business so I’m so happy that your coming out with a clothing line, but since I saw you struggling with the fabric choices I rlly wanna give you some advice! As a small business I think it’s mainly important to keep the price range on the lower side so a silk material pj that is suggested to be dry cleaned might not be the best choice, also because silk is not a stretchy material it’s not as comfortable as a pj, I know it does feel luxury and smooth but when you sleep and start moving around you will find silk uncomfortable as it does not stretch and move according to your body movements, so I hope that someday you will also come out with a pj set that’s cotton! Anyways , I love watching your videos and I hope you all the best ! ❤

[@reedweiwei11]

As someone who’s also in the process of creating my own clothing brand, this gave me so much inspiration. I’m a fashion design & merchandising graduate but this is the 1st time I’ll be producing my own design with a manufacturer. Even though I already have a background, it’s still so scary. I also quit my soul-sucking job (retail) and used up my final pay for this so I’m really really crossing my fingers. But either way, I’m still proud of myself for taking the hard path and choosing to do the things I’m passionate about ❤ More power to you!

[@pagesbyteddy]

Annika!!!!! I know you probably won't see this, but I wanted to thank you so so much for sharing that moment of uncertainty about releasing new products (19:52). This is my first time commenting, but I'm a long-time viewer and have been watching every week since before you started your small business. Your journey has been so inspiring to me and your vlogs have gotten me through some pretty dark times, fast forward to now I'm actually looking to set up my own small business! I've always viewed your products as so perfect with a level of quality I could only dream of creating myself, so seeing you falter was almost inconceivable to me when everything you put out is as amazing as it is. But it reminded me that if even someone like you can feel unsure sometimes, maybe it's just part of the process, and the doubt I feel myself isn't a measure of the quality of what I create but rather of how much I care. And how much you care about the pyjamas really shines through in this video, it was honestly kinda emotional seeing the finished product. 🥹 It looks sooo good! So thank you, for everything ❤️

[@zwiebster63]

Wow…..many many congratulations!! You can be very proud of yourself!!! You are still very young but I think that you have “the business feeling” in your fingers…! Wanting to start an own business is not enough. You need a lot of courage to start it up. Although you are still very young, you are doing your job/dream/business like someone who is doing it for many years. The beauty in you is that you are a “grown up” when it’s about your job/business, but in your heart there is also a big place that is taken by everything that concerns “the cartoon-world”. People who cherish cartoons and everything that is linked with it, will stay young for a very long time! I am one of them! 🍾🎉🍾🎉🍾🎉🍾🎉🍾🎉🍾🎉

[@theoriginalbreakage]

as cute as these are, im not sure doing anything that's 'dry clean only' is a good idea.. most people i know wont buy anything they cant throw into a washer, especially something you wear repeatedly. thats just another frequent cost, especially for something like pajamas (a coat is different since its outer wear and something you typically only wear for one season) but either way congrats!

[@melikryst]

@@theoriginalbreakage yeah i agree. makes me sad. i just can’t afford to take it to a dry cleaners + drive & use my gas there + buy the product.

[@annikasleaf]

will definitely keep this in mind!

[@melikryst]

@@annikasleaf thank you💗 you’re the best

[@marizzobell]

hey Friends! I know it's a bit of a pain, but anything that's "dry clean only" can typically be handwashed in a sink or tub with normal detergent without ruining the garment! Just be mindful not to scrub too hard and if it's a material that is prone to getting misshapen (wool, cashmere, etc) make sure to lay it flat on a towel to dry after squeezing out the water rather than hang drying. Obviously it's still a pain to do the extra labor, but if you only have a few light pieces that need to be handwashed it goes by quick! And it's way cheaper than the dry cleaners 😅. Not saying you should buy her pj's, just sharing info I've found very helpful!

[@melikryst]

@@marizzobell thank you for this helpful information!!!!

It sucks seeing you sad and stressed out, so i hope my comment doesn't sound funny, but it was linda comforting seeing that you experience these highs and lows too.

[@lanalanablx]

it's so interesting to see this process. I graduated for tailoring and now for fashion branding and people really forget how expensive it is to make clothes. from good materials and the labour it just makes the price beyond what people are used to. I honestly feel people should try to make some clothes just to fully understand how it shouldn't be possible to sell a shirt for 4 euros etc. Good items made well are so worth the price because you'll tressure it and be able to use it for a long time, better 1 good item then 10 bad ones
