The loom
Every bag starts as thread on a loom that has been in the same family for three generations.
About JAC
A little shop built on real relationships
Josephine Alexander Collective began with a trip to Peru and a table of woven work that deserved a bigger audience. Kelly buys directly from the artisans who make each piece, agrees on the price with them, and comes back season after season.
Nothing here is mass produced. Small batches, honest materials, and the small irregularities that prove a person made it.
Then the second half of the story. 100% of profit goes to Kelly's Fosters, feeding and healing animals until they find a forever family.
Craft is the star
The hand
Embroidery and beadwork are set one stitch at a time, which is why no two pieces close alike.
The color
Cochineal, marigold, and turquoise come from the market stalls that gave this collection its palette.
