jej & boc is an Australian fashion and textile design studio, dedicated to creating a playful approach to fashion with bold patterns and vibrant colours.  jej & boc is based on Whadjuk Noongar country in Fremantle, Western Australia. Our design process embodies the slow fashion movement, we carefully consider all aspects of our supply chain and focus on the long-term wellbeing of people and our planet. We deliberately choose natural fibres and design silhouettes that are both effortless and timeless to ensure the longevity of our pieces. All jej & boc designs are created in Fremantle and then developed into garments by our production studio in Melbourne.

​

Jess and Bec are the sisters behind the brand. Having grown up in the colourful country of Zimbabwe, they formed a great love of colour and pattern from an early age. Deeply inspired by the vibrant tropical fruit at the markets, the java-printed fabrics and the African bush- they absorbed a world of colour throughout their childhood that to this day defines who they are. The sisters named the design studio 'jej and boc' after their childhood nicknames, capturing the sense of fun and childlike merriment that is integral to the brand.

 

Bec is our textile designer, creating bold designs with vivid colours and hand-drawn motifs. Jess directs the fashion design component of jej & boc, conjuring up the perfect silhouettes to showcase the textiles.

​

We work with Toni, a Melbourne-based pattern maker to turn our design concepts into production-ready patterns for manufacturing. Toni develops our patterns with innovative digital methods and an incredible attention to detail.

​

When our patterns are ready for production, we work with our  Melbourne-based maker Roula, to produce small and considered runs of garments. Roula's production studio is accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia and 100% of products are made in Australia.
