Slip

The Story Behind slip®

It All Started With a Simple Beauty Secret

In 2003, Fiona Stewart was prescribed acne medication that left her with extremely sensitive skin and thinning hair. Looking for a way to protect her delicate skin while she slept, her dermatologist suggested switching to a silk pillowcase.

Unable to find one that met her expectations, Fiona decided to create her own solution. She sourced the finest silk she could find and simply wrapped it around her pillow. The results were dramatic and immediate. Her skin felt more comfortable, her hair experienced less friction, and she had unknowingly rediscovered a long-forgotten beauty secret: the benefits of sleeping on silk.

From Personal Discovery to Beauty Innovation

What began as a personal solution soon became something much bigger. Inspired by her own experience, Fiona saw an opportunity to transform an everyday essential into an integral part of a beauty routine.

In 2004, Fiona Stewart and her partner, Justin Dubois, officially launched slip®. Their vision was simple: to create luxurious silk products designed specifically with skin, hair and beauty in mind. What started with a silk pillowcase would grow into a brand built around the idea that beauty care doesn't have to stop when you go to sleep.

Beauty While You Sleep

Today, slip® is known for its carefully developed silk pillowcases, sleep masks and accessories. Combining luxurious materials with a beauty-first approach, the brand has helped bring silk back into modern nighttime routines — turning something as simple as sleep into an opportunity to care for your skin and hair.
