About

Having set up a print and leather workshop right in the heart of East London, partially funded by The Prince's Trust, she was selected for The Walpole Luxury Goods 12-month mentoring scheme and was one of 12 designers selected from 120 business start-ups to receive training from some of the most luxurious brands. Bill Amberg and Ettinger (luxury leather brands) were her mentors.

Jane's work ethic and strong need for sustainability stem from previous work in the vintage and second-hand trade, up-cycling many leather and cashmere items for Rokit London, The East London Thrift Store, and Topshop concessions. Being eco-conscious wasn’t the original intention, but came from being a small start-up business that needed to find creative ways to save money. Having rescued so many items of clothing and leather that would have otherwise ended up in landfill, sustainable design has become integral to her business. Somewhat of a struggle during the early 2000s, it was difficult to find others who shared those values. It meant saying no to many companies and suppliers with bad work ethics and a focus on mass consumerism.

"The world is a different place now than back then; we are more conscious of the Buy Less, Buy Better ethos and saving our planet.

Not a big fan of throwaway fashion or mass production - everything is sourced and made with that in mind. Sustainability is the mission here! Everything is designed with premium quality materials and made to stand the test of time and grow old gracefully."

All collections are designed, printed, and crafted by hand in Jane's little workshop by the Kent coast of England.
