Slow Fashion

As the market is flooded with cheap clothing produced under exploitative conditions we think it is important to offer an alternative. We produce all of our stock ourselves as we love to sew and we love to experiment with materials to make unique garments. This production technique also guarantees that no unfair work practises are involved. We also strive to keep our clothing affordable to make handmade and custom fashion more accessible. 

As well as showcasing our love of design, the Jezenya brand is durable and not designed to be throwaway. Good design transcends seasons and we like think of our pieces as timeless. Our garments are mostly natural fibres such as cotton, silk and linen which not only look fantastic but offer comfort, especially in warmer weather. Natural materials are also more durable and don't pill and lose their shape the way synthetics do. 

If you see a design you like and would like to have it handmade to your measurements don't hesitate to contact us. We can also offer alternative prints for most designs if you have something specific in mind.   

Handmade forever! - Donna. 

Hi internet, it's me Jezenya

Thought I should just write a short blog to introduce our brand to all you lovely people. Jezenya is a family business committed to ethical manufacture based in Melbourne, Australia. We started in Perth selling at more handmade markets than I can count before packing a shipping container and shooting the lot off to Melbourne. In all it's been about a decade but we have so much fun sewing this brand it feels like half that time to me. 

We create a handmade range of clothing for women who like to stand out. All styles are produced in small runs and we use techniques such as lino block printing and embroidery as embellishments. We prefer to work in natural fibres and with bold prints. We're a mother and daughter team with around 55 years combined experience in dress making and we hold durability and originality as the most important features of our designs. Our aim is to provide stylish women everywhere an opportunity to express themselves and provide easy access to custom made fashion. 

Thanks for the read - Jess.
