2001- Los Angeles based fashion designer, Annie Cholakian had an interesting conversation with one her friends about the lack of attractive hospital gowns available for home care patients. Her friend, a nurse practitioner who was taking care of her own mother at home was looking for a pretty, back fastening, patient gown with full back coverage.so that it would be easy to put on and yet pretty, so that her mother would feel good wearing it. Annie gave this some thought, and realized that she could indeed design a prettier, more comfortable, and more functional patient gown than what was currently available, and that she could also design or re-design many other convalescent accessories to make healing more comfortable as well as a lot more attractive! She came up with the idea of making the gowns out of a super soft jersey knit instead of the stiff, woven, broadcloth that hospital gowns are usually made of. She designed them with special details such as embroideries, crochet edges, baby ring snaps, and even one that looks like an over sized T Shirt with a pocket for men!
2002- The company took off - selling to Hospital gift shops ,durable medical equipment supply stores, (see Store Locator for a store near you), and to individual online customers as well! Ever since, Silver Moon Bay has kept pace by adding new colors, fabrics, and styles. We have added gowns with super long front plackets for breast feeding, both men's and women's gowns with special pockets to hold insulin pumps, and lately a new collection of printed, cotton spandex women's gowns as well as new styles and colors for men! 2011 - Now, ten years after the inception of SILVER MOON BAY, which was originally manufactured in China, we have returned our manufacturing to the U.S.A. We make everything right here in Southern California where we are based and have added 100% cotton jersey to our collection as well! 

After having had four surgeries all before the age of 23, and having had extended stays in the hospital, I realized that surgery and recover are no picnic. Loosing Independence while in the hospital and being bed bound while I recovered at home from surgery, I thought about what would make this a better experience. While you are injured or have health problems you lose the little things most people take for granted. The little things can make your recovery and life a whole lot better. You always want to feel secure, confident, comfortable, safe, and looking your best.  The gowns on our website will help you feel confident when you need to wear them. Our Patient gowns don’t fall open in the back. Its hard being sick or injured but the little things can make all the difference.
