About
For over 28 years, Eberjey has created a space where you can feel truly yourself. A state of mind where the outside world fades and your inner voice reigns. This is the essence of living an authentic life. And it's more important than ever. When the brand was founded in 1996, the lingerie market was dominated by designs that focused more on capturing the male gaze than on the women wearing them. Eberjey introduced comfortable styles women could feel confident in, and soon after created the iconic Gisele PJ’s that launched the brand to the next level.With a fast-growing DTC business, five retail locations, and wholesale partners worldwide, we believe in bringing comfort and joy home to as many people as we can. Join us on our journey as we continue to create styles and spaces that encourage softness, ease, confidence, and total authenticity. Eberjey is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status.
