About Dodo Banana

Dodo Banana was dreamed up by two moms in 2019 who wanted to create the softest, most comfortable pajamas that would be loved by kids and parents alike. The result is a sophisticated, but whimsical line of sustainable sleepwear, all with original hand-illustrated artwork that encourages big dreams and sound slumbers. Today, Dodo Banana is expanding to add clothing, baby, and women’s items to the collection because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that you can never dream too big. Dodo Banana is the brainchild of retailer/designer Fiona Montgomery and artist Alessandra Olanow. The friends met over 15 years ago and immediately connected over a mutual aesthetic admiration for Fiona’s beloved Nolita design shop Thomas Sires and Alex’s thoughtful, conversational illustrations. Today, Dodo Banana is owned and run by Fiona, who lives in San Francisco with her husband, their son and daughter, Max and Elinor, and their faithful Norwich Terrier, Ivy. Alex still makes her Dodo mark by creating some of the whimsical prints loved by parents and children alike. Read their story
