Hello! I'm Jaatje 👋

The Colour Collectors has been my personal journey in making life more vibrant, joyful, and beautifully bold — one colourful creation at a time. This brought into being: The Colour Collector's SHOP - where you are now :)

​

It all began with one garment, a simple wish: a super comfy, breastfeeding-friendly dress bursting with colour to brighten my days and lift my new-mama spirits. That wish became The Artist’s Dress — our first-ever piece — designed by me and finessed with love (and sewing expertise) by my mom. What started as a dress became an everything dress: adventure dress, beach dress, fancy dress, comfort dress. And now… she’s got a dungaree sibling!

I've been sewing since Barbie days — literally. I used to design outfits on my mom’s sewing machine for me and my sisters' dolls, and I’ve been fascinated with fabric and creating clothes ever since.

Then came the Colour Amulets — chunky, joyful pieces I always dreamed of wearing. No makeup needed, just a pop of boldness made from polymer clay, rope, and metal — all handmade by me (released in spurts of limited edition inspiration - be sure to sign up to the newsletter to know when these rare beauties might appear).

And that’s how The Colour Collectors was born — part creative necessity, part colour therapy, part creative playground.

​

Thanks for stopping by.

Stick around for more colour, play, and real-life behind the seams.
