Cucumber is the brainchild of North London friends Nancy Zeffman (formerly in advertising with Saatchi & Saatchi) and Eileen Willett (ex-Nicole Farhi). They are friends who met at the school gates almost twenty years ago, and who recognised the need for stylish, sustainable sleepwear and loungewear using cutting edge fabric technology to help maintain an even body temperature and keep the wearer cool day and night. Between Nancy and Eileen, their complementary characters, two dogs, six children and continuing friendship have helped create their vision for Cucumber.
Our fabrics! Imagine wearing luxuriously soft sleepwear and loungewear that incorporates the clear benefits of performance fabrics. Whether sweltering in hot yoga or running a marathon, technical, performance fabrics keep you cool, dry and comfortable. They also wash and dry easily, stay fresh smelling and are anti-crease. Cucumber does all of the above, in simple, fresh and seasonless designs that feel lovely against the skin.
