About janeyB
Jane is the driving force and inspiration behind the janeyB brand. After leaving Art college in the early 1980’s Jane worked for a number of acclaimed knitwear and clothing designers in London, ensuring the highest quality, production and development for these luxury brands which sold worldwide. During these years she gained a unique insight into what makes an exceptional crafted hand knitted garments. Over the past few years Jane has been busy raising a family and studying for a Masters Degree in Cultural Astronomy & Astrology. This lead to writing research papers on esoteric subjects and presenting them at University Conferences all over Europe. However, Jane had remained passionate about the fashion industry and missed working in a creative environment surrounded by beautiful products. So to get back in the game she got to work establishing a cottage industry of experienced knitters and began fashioning her dream. Re-modelling vintage knitting patterns, a superior finish along with sumptuously blended yarns encompass the janeyB vision as a brand signature.
Jane has spent the past year working in local Further Education Colleges and Universities teaching Fashion and Textiles to 16 to 22 year olds. She has over 30 years valuable Industry experience and enjoys sharing that knowledge with our future fashionistas.
