CLOSED: DreamSacks Review and Giveaway (BTSC- Day 28)


The winner for this giveaway has been chosen by Random.org and is announced
on this post


When Nancy Morgan, her husband Larry and their daughter Chelsea lived overseas, they'd travel extensively around Asia. Many times their travels would involve questionable sleeping conditions, so to ensure they were comfortable, Nancy, a teacher by profession, sewed sheets together to make their rest comfortable. Over time, remembering her travels to China and their extensive use of silk, she realized silk would be a better option in terms of fabric feel, weight (lighter) and thermodynamics. Soon the first DreamSack was created!

Today the DreamSacks portfolio is rich with clothes for women, men, babies, bedding,bath and other accessories.



What makes a DreamSacks product different?

2 words- natural fibers! DreamSacks products are only made with natural fibers- no mixes, no artificial blends..just pure fibers like bamboo (I know, my first reaction was "WHAT?" too), silk, soy (wow!) and cashmere. (The bamboo and the soy really surprised me..that's as natural as it can get!).

A DreamSacks product has another unique attribute- all products are light in weight.

I was sent a beautiful, classy, black silk and cashmere tunic. I was amazed at how light the tunic was and the material was soft and comfortable on the skin....aaaah!


You've heard of Pashmina...but have you heard of Pashbu?


Pashbu is actually your bamboo version of a Pashmina! (100% Viscose from bamboo.) This is a great accessory to drape on even during hot sultry summer evenings as the material is light weight and the use of bamboo, a natural fiber, ensures you don't get all sticky and sweaty with use.

Pashbu is a member of the DreamSacks Bamboo Dreams line that is manufactured from sustainably harvested bamboo reserves in China . Every DreamSacks product is free from chemical residue and is created using Azo-free low impact dyes.


Win it:

One reader will win their choice of a unique Pashbu.

  1. Awesome give away for the upcoming fall season. I'm in love with the ruby red pashbu, although Fig is a close second! Red is definitely my staple color for fall.

  2. I want the natural undyed, then it would go with absolutely ANYTHING I wear.
    Otherwise I'd have to have a Fig, black, and splash in addition to the undyed.
