the old made new.

Welcome to By Jess - where the old is made new. We all like buying new, but often at the cost of what we already own. At By Jess, each product is hand-crafted from preloved and deadstock fabric, individually screen printed and given a new purpose.

A deeper thread runs through By Jess - restoration, sustainability and joy all reflect the ultimate Creator, who makes old things become new again.

I hope you can pick up something useful and know that your purchase actively works towards slowing down textile waste!
