JF & SON
Jesse Finkelstein and Katie King are the designers behind JF & SON, a line they launched just over three years ago and sell out of their store on Kenmare Street. It’s all about the textiles at JF and Son. They source fabrics, create prints and develop techniques out of their studio in New Delhi–not to be confused with a factory–where they pay workers three times the living wage and foster a collaborative, creative environment. That collaborative feel extends to their Kenmare store, where they make alterations for shoppers on the spot, allowing them to order garments in prints to suit their fancy. We like that they’re a brand with a mission–to produce fairly abroad as outsourcing sadly becomes an inevitability–and their clothes are pretty cute too. –Leah Chernikoff
