Purpose and Story
I’m Puja Tamang, the heart behind Sheis817. This brand was born from a quiet longing for peace, for softness, and for a life that felt like home.
When I came to New York alone as an immigrant, I carried the weight of being the eldest daughter — responsible, strong, and always holding it together for everyone else. For ten years, I worked in the hospitality industry, giving my energy, time, and heart to serve others. And while I learned the beauty of creating experiences for people, I also lost myself in the process. The long hours, the constant pressure, and the exhaustion took a toll. My skin broke out, my body grew tired, and my spirit felt worn.
Somewhere between the noise of the city and the quiet of my own room, I began to realize something: I had spent so much of my life caring for others, but I had forgotten what it meant to truly care for myself. I learned that healing isn’t only about the skin we see in the mirror or the food we eat — it begins with rest. With softness. With creating a space that feels safe enough to come home to.
That’s where Sheis817 was born.
I chose bedsheets to begin with because rest is where everything starts. It’s where our bodies breathe out the day, where our thoughts finally soften, and where we return to ourselves. Our sheets are intentionally made to feel lived-in, not perfect. Because comfort shouldn’t be stiff or cold; it should feel human — warm, breathable, and deeply yours.
The name 817 carries a vibration I’ve held close for years:
- 8 is strength and abundance
- 1 is a fresh beginning
- 7 is spiritual alignment
Together, they are a reminder of the life I’m building and the life I want to invite you into — one where softness is strength, where rest is sacred, and where choosing yourself is the most beautiful start of all.
Sheis817 isn’t just a bedding brand. It’s a movement. A call to slow down in a world that tells us to keep running. A reminder that you are worthy of peace, worthy of softness, and worthy of a home that reflects who you are becoming.
Every sheet, every detail, is a small piece of that message. Yes, it’s a product — but it’s also a symbol. Of taking care of yourself. Of honoring the quiet moments. Of remembering that rest is not weakness, but power.
So when you come home and slip into Sheis817, I hope you feel more than fabric. I hope you feel seen, held, and reminded that this life, your life, is yours to live gently and love deeply.
