Our Story

Jessie Florence Currin was born 1947 in Auckland, New Zealand. Growing up in a struggling economy, she and her sisters frequented Op Shops and Secondhand stores to buy unwanted garments, which they transformed into unique outfits. This talent carried through her life, as she crafted and designed beautiful clothes for her three children and eventually passed on her passion for fashion to her grandchildren.

One of my favourite memories with my Nan was our trips to the local op shops, where we spent hours searching for hidden gems. As a teenager, I noticed she had a way of drawing in people who sought love and understanding, much like the discarded clothes we found. Nan shared her faith that had brought her both hardships and joy over the years. After she and my Pop passed away, I wanted to honour her legacy by creating Jessie Florence Pre-loved Clothing, while sharing our passion for sustainable vintage fashion.
