Jaf Studios is a slow fashion, sustainable label set up by designer Jessie Flatman. Based in West Cork, Ireland, she uses whatever materials she can find around her in the local area. A natural born scavenger for the overlooked once luxurious material, ready for renewal. Jessie creates 'one of a kind' pieces by drawing from and giving respect to the original characteristics of the garment while carving out a whole new contemporary design.
The designer works with a range of materials, creating upcycled pieces from scarves, silk ties and table cloths. She sources vintage and second hand items as well as using deadstock fabrics and yarns. The designer is passionate to remain low waste and sustainable while still creating an exciting world of unique contemporary clothes for the wearer to play with.
While designing with the original garment in mind, Jessie also celebrates the uniqueness of the wearer. With bold, beaded textures, rich or bright colours and an avant garde silhouette, the garments support the wearer to feel the fun and unseriousness of self expression.
