Brand Story
Ally Jacqueline Jacquets came to life while swinging on a porch one sunny and crisp day in Oct. 2018 thanks to my bestie, Erica, for requesting the first ‘jacquet’ & my husband for the clever play on words with my middle name.
I have a strong appreciation of the little things that make people unique. Reminiscing on the feeling of creating her jacquet made me realize that by mixing my drive to create joy & passion for creativity I could develop a brand unique to each client.
It all started while thrift shopping when we found this cool over-sized denim jacket. I’ve always loved showing my personality through fashion so I couldn’t wait to cover it in patches & pins that represent me, my travels, friends, and family.
Erica was craving her own denim jacket and amidst planning her Palm Springs bachelorette decided to have everyone wear matching denim jackets. My creative spirit went wild thinking of how I could make hers stand out as the bride-to-be!
She strutted her stuff around downtown San Diego where she received tons of compliments & it even gave her the confidence (along with some liquid courage) to dance on stage at the local piano bar! Then she stunned us modeling during her sunrise photo shoot in Joshua Tree where she looked like a shining star!
Creating a special piece of her glittery ensemble for the bachelorette party (secretly hoping it also becomes a family heirloom) was a blast and an honor!
Seeing her so happy made me want to continue creating that type of joy for brides-to-be, diva queens, and everyone in between. I become totally invested in the personalities and stories of each client as if they are my best friend, too. The ability to understand the little things that make you unique and translate them into a jacquet design is what allows me to make a piece of wearable art that makes you feel like a shining star inside & out!
