An "Inside look"...
are you wondering how products are made? & by who?
Well, you've come to the right page. Let me tell you a little bit about the production of my Indigenous wearable art and give you a behind the scenes look at how I have thoughtfully chosen to operate my business.
Production
Designs by Jennifer Denny operates with a "slow fashion" approach. 100% of the items are made from fabric/raw material to finished product. Each piece sold on this website has been made by one person, Jennifer Denny. <3
Fashion Terms
"Bespoke" - Custom Made garments, made to fit an individuals size, with their creative input involved in the designing process. This garment will be made based off of the client's specific requests.
​
"Made-to-order" - Replicas can or cannot be made, usually this type of garment production has little to no creative changes. The only change would normally be the size.
​
"Ready-to-wear" - Replicas are made of this product and it is created from the same pattern being re-used.

Q: What happens after my order is placed?
A: Depending on the type of art, sometimes your item is made within 3 business days and it is shipped/delivered within 5 days. If it is already be made, then your package will still be processed within 3-5 business days.
