Our Story
And Our Future
Top Drawer Collection is a luxury ready-to-wear brand with a heritage
in sleepwear and bridal gifting. Comfort, Luxury, Versatility, and Responsibility
are at the core of all that we do.
A Letter From Our Founder
Founded by Carla Frankel in 2019, our story is one of beauty & resilience. During the second year of her B.com Finance degree, Carla experienced a health scare that was comforted by a set of matching pajamas, thoughtfully gifted to her by her mother. This enchanting blend of comfy sleepwear and meaningful gifting planted the seed for Top Drawer Collection—where luxury design, exceptional craftsmanship, and personalized gifting come together in an ode to self-love. At Top Drawer Collection, we don't just stitch garments; we weave experiences that evoke the coziness of Sunday mornings, the elegance of luxury bridal moments and stylish gatherings with your best friends. Our collection is meticulously designed and ethically crafted in South Africa, with a focus on superior quality to ensure that your set will be your companion long after the wedding bells have chimed. We hope your self-care journey, or the thoughtful gifting experience you would like to share, is just as meaningful as ours. We can't wait to be part of it!
