Erne + Ace, the apparel brand founded by designer Farah Liem, is expanding its initial product lineup with a new offering centered on a holiday-themed sleepwear set. This release aligns with the company's established focus on integrating the sport of pickleball into fashion-forward apparel.
The Eye Heart Pickleball PJs by Erne + Ace are available in two coordinated ensembles intended to provide comfort while incorporating a thematic aesthetic related to the sport. Each set comprises three items — a super-soft printed PJ pant, a cropped graphic tee with a playful nod to pickleball, and a reusable matching fabric pouch.
With its pickleball-inspired, holiday-themed sleepwear set, Erne + Ace continues to cater directly to the growing community of pickleball enthusiasts. Its offering makes for a wonderful gift.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Pickleball-inspired Fashion
- The integration of pickleball themes into apparel reflects a broader trend where niche sports influence mainstream fashion items, appealing to both sports enthusiasts and style-conscious consumers.
- Festive Sleepwear Designs
- Holiday-themed sleepwear collections are gaining popularity as they offer consumers a unique way to express seasonal spirit while maintaining comfort and style in intimate apparel.
- Niche Sport Merchandise
- Developing themed products around niche sports like pickleball opens new markets for brands, capitalizing on dedicated fan bases to create specialty merchandise that extends beyond functionality.
Sectors Adopting This
- Athleisure Apparel
- As athleisure continues to dominate market trends, brands incorporating sport-specific themes, such as pickleball, into their designs differentiate their offerings in a competitive sector.
- Holiday Product Market
- The seasonal product industry sees innovation through festive apparel that combines comfort and thematic design, sparking consumer interest in gift-ready, limited-time offerings.
- Sports Merchandise
- Expanding sports merchandise to include themed lifestyle products, such as sleepwear, enables companies to leverage sport-specific aesthetics to capture new consumer segments.
