I’m Jess.
A dreamer who left Malaysia and embarked on an arduous journey to Taiwan at the end of 2022 with Re-:Petite, my little handmade business. I aspire for it to grow in tandem with my own journey.
RE-:Petite derives from the prefix “RE“:
Back to the Original; Again & Again
Repeating – Going back – Renewing
It embodies the philosophy of starting afresh,
regardless of which phase of the life cycle one finds themselves in.
RE- : infinite possibilities.
As a petite woman standing at under 5 feet tall, I intimately understand the unique needs of fellow petites. The challenges, including excessive lengths in sleeves and hems, larger armholes, and a wider shoulder line, are consistently shared experiences among us. The market could greatly benefit from more dedicated petite brands, ensuring that clothing is specifically tailored for our distinct proportions.
RE-:Petite is specifically tailored for YOU.
From designing and pattern-making to cutting, sewing, listing, packing, and shipping, I handle every aspect of the process. As the Jill of all trades, I pour my love into every pieces of my creations. Doing things solo can be challenging and lonely, but
Transforming mere ideas into tangible creations —
Starting from scratch and turning it into something beautiful is what brings me joy and fulfilment as a creator.
Every finished products are my babies.
Even with flaws, every stitch and thread represents effort.
Crafted with heart, powered by love. (World peace! Hey!!)
Slow Fashion:
Producing only upon receiving orders (handmade to order) or in small quantities to ensure minimal waste.
Each piece is 100% authentic and unique.
Lots of WHY and doubts.
To be honest, I can’t quite articulate it, but, well, I’m currently DO-ING this in a somewhat hazy manner?!
我是Jess,一個在2022年底離開馬來西亞到台灣的追夢異鄉人。
Re-:Petite是專為小個子女性打造的小眾原創服裝品牌。我期許它能夠與我的個人旅程同步成長。品牌裡的所有作品均由我一人製作,生產所需的時間相對於快時尚商品會更長。
RE-:Petite源自於 Prefix “RE”:
Back to the Original; Again & Again
一次又一次、回去、重複著、翻新,
“再來一次吧!”
不管在人生的哪個階段,都擁有重新出發的勇氣。
RE- : 寓意 無限可能。
短短人生裡總會想做自己喜歡的事,而我這個身高不足 155cm 的小個子就很任性地創立了一個專屬品牌。做著自己喜歡的設計,期待著不怎麼實際的夢想,然後煩惱著明天的開銷賬單。袖子和裙擺過長、袖孔過大以及肩線過寬等挑戰,這些都是我們共同的經歷。我希望提供的價值是能在個人層面上引起共鳴的。
從設計、打版、裁剪、縫紉,到後期的上架、包裝和發貨,所有的工作暫時都由我親手完成。過程是艱難而孤獨的,
一來是因為很窮;二是因為:
純粹的紙上談兵到真正能觸碰到的實物 —
從無到有
『From Nothing To Something』
一份屬於創作者的滿足。
所以每每看到成品時都有點小感動。
就算有瑕疵,但每一針、每一線皆是努力。
用心製作,用愛發電。(世界和平!喂!!)
慢時尚:
根據訂單『Handmade To Order』或以小量進行生產,降低庫存和資源的浪費。
對於我而言,每件作品都是獨一無二的。
『很多的質疑,很多的為什麼』
其實我也說不清,反正現在就糊里糊塗得做著這件事了。(笑)
