I am Jennie Jakobsson, fashion designer, textile artist & craftsman. I have a solid background in fashion design and since 2017 I started to add textile craft to my resume and today I offer both consultancy within fashion design as well as in textile craft. Two worlds that complete each other.
I also create my own textile products and products on demand where I use various techniques such as weaving, embroidery, felting, dying, sewing and more. My work is often based on traditional techniques that I develop further and transform into a renewed expression or function.
For any work inquiry or interest in my products please contact me here:
