Can Dreams Really Come True at 42?

After 10 years as a Family Lawyer, Gundeep Grewal decided life is more than billable hours by opening Pyjama Cavalry - an online store that sells children and adult pyjamas and other children's clothing.
 
May 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Family lawyer turns to family fashion
Perth based family lawyer, Gundeep Grewal, has found her fix and escapism from the stresses and strains of the legal profession by starting her  new career in fashion.
Having practised as a family lawyer for 10 years, Gundeep could no longer justify the constant emotional drain and the demanding hours her legal career required of her away from her family.  Gundeep said, “I was ready to try something different, something where I could use my creative side and my passion for fabric”.
Opening my own online store, Pyjama Cavalry seemed to be a natural progression.
Originally, the business idea started out as a solution to a problem Gundeep regularly encountered. As a busy mother of one extremely precocious child, she experienced firsthand the difficulty in finding readily available, unique and interesting clothing for her daughter.
The lack of choice within Australia, led her to the internet and overseas. Unfortunately, many of the websites Gundeep found had products that were unaffordable and did not deliver to Australia. When they did, as every mother will know, the delivery costs together with the product costs simply far outweighed the potential savings.
“I have always had a passion for fashion and I was very keen to share the enjoyment as well as the practicalities my online store can offer busy parents, who still want quality, yet affordable garments,” said Gundeep.
“We use a variety of beautiful fabrics specialising in mostly silk and cotton and the design inspiration for the pieces comes from wanting children to wear colourful and elegant clothing, without looking like adults”.
“However, I also wanted my daughter to understand that hard work and commitment are important in turning any dream to reality.”
The gap in the market presented a perfect opportunity for Gundeep and she has not looked back since. Whilst she has taken a small step back from the legal profession, Gundeep still finds time to support women and children through her work with Legal Aid and pro bono work.
Pyjama Cavalry designs produce  unique range of pyjamas for both adults and children in silk and cotton.  Their  collection is practical, affordable and colourful. There are a number of other products for children, such as  jewellery, children’s party and casual wear.   Materials are generally sourced from India and China.
