My grandmother was always adamant about looking put-together all at times—even going to bed—because you never know who's coming to visit, she used to say. While I'll never be quite as dedicated to the art of looking good 24/7, having stylish loungewear in my wardrobe will certainly help me meet her somewhere halfway. 

That's where Vintel comes in. The Thai designer of luxury loungewear uses 100% bamboo fiber as the material for all its pieces, which include pajama bottoms and tops, as well as robes and dresses. The latest 'Gorgeous' collection has such pieces in pastel shades of pink, blue, and green for wearers to mix-and-match as they please, and it's not just for women. Men can find comfy shorts, long pants, and sleeveless or sleeved buttoned shirts in the collection. There's even fringe on some of the pieces for men who'd like to be extra with their fashionable loungewear. 

The special material that Vintel makes its pieces from lends them their luxurious lightweightedness that's perfect for Thai weather. No matter how many pieces you're wearing—whether it's the long pants with the tank top and a full-length robe on top or the pants with a long-sleeve top—everything just feels so light and airy, like a feather on the skin, and expensive. The know-how perhaps comes from the founder and creative director Nan Rattiya Worarat's family business of supplying fabrics for hotel beddings. With the experience in sourcing the best materials to assist in comfort and good sleep, she saw an opportunity to open a luxury loungewear brand as her own creative outlet in 2017. 

In terms of the visual aesthetic, Vintel has designed the Gorgeous collection with the idea of making loungewear chic enough that it can be integrated into outside wear. For example, you can easily throw one of the jacket-length cover-ups on top of jeans and a T-shirt to elevate the look from basic to interesting. The glamorous printed kaftan dresses, also, would make quite a statement at a resort or yacht setting. Indeed, Vintel collaborated with Beauty Gems for the launch of the Gorgeous collection at Central Chidlom last month, to demonstrate how you could style the pieces with diamonds and other fine jewelry. 

Find the Gorgeous collection in Vintel boutiques at Iconsiam, Paragon Central Eastvilla, Siam Premium Outlet, and Siam Center. You can order the pieces online at Instagram @vintel.originals or Line Official @vintel (with the @ symbol).
