What Makes Janessa Leoné Regenerative?
Since inception, Janessa Leoné has been committed to fostering a conversation around conscious consumption. For them, being a conscious consumer is not about recanting capitalism, but about making informed choices and providing their customers with the clarity needed to make those choices wisely. They subscribe to the ethos of buying fewer but higher quality essentials that transcend trends and will last for many years to come. They optimize for longevity in the creation of every Janessa Leoné design.
Janessa Leoné only partners with vendors and factories who share their values. They prioritize employee well-being, sustainable practices, responsibly sourced-materials, and quality craftsmanship in the creation of every Janessa Leoné item. From the farms where they source wool and leather, to their manufacturers and production facilities in Los Angeles, New York, Pennsylvania, Madagascar, and Ecuador, to their shipping warehouse, they demand supply chain transparency, ethical work environments and environmental accountability from every partner who touches their products.
“I’m passionate about building a business that does things differently. My entire entrepreneurial endeavor has been driven by intuition and conviction. Inspired and motivated by creating a company model that prioritizes people and the planet first, I aim to go beyond just developing great products. The team and relationships that I have built since 2014 are among my proudest accomplishments. I’m excited to continue on this journey and will remain committed to continual evolution, constantly working towards making my mark in this industry by leaving it in better shape than I found it.”
