Courtney Kates is the principal designer and owner of Maison Du Soir, Based in Southern California. After gifting herself her first set of luxury sleepwear, it dawned on her the disconnect between the way we dress and the thought put into our appearance during the day versus the night. With that, came the power of a better night's sleep and a boost of confidence in feeling beautiful, regardless of the time of day.
As a former ballet dancer, Courtney used her innate understanding of movement and lines and an ignited passion to pave the way to revitalizing the sleepwear market.
In just 6 years, Courtney has turned her initial investment of $25,000 into a million dollar business. Top retailers include Saks, Anthropologie, Nordstroms, Goop, Shopbop, Moda Operandi and Revolve. Top celebrity fans include Kristen Bell, Kristen Chenowith, Kourtney Kardashian and Mandy Moore.
Answering the question, : What Does The Cool Chick Wear To Sleep?", women's wear daily went on to name Courtney as "one to watch".
