Having opened in 2002, Jet Collective has been a mainstay on Bow Street, showcasing some of the works of Raglan creatives. With some changes made over the past year or so, this week they unveil a new look for their retail space.
Mainly operating as an artist-run gallery, the space features work from both local and national craft artists including the likes of Jo Sweeney, Jillian Lankshear, Karla Stevenson and Hayley Hamilton.
Along with the make over, the collective have also added three new members to their crew.
Well-known local jewellery designer Sarah Steed will be bringing her signature sterling silver, pounamu and gem stone necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and earrings to the existing jewellery collection.
Children’s clothing and accessories designer Jessie Galloway also joins the collective with her up cycled, colourful and fun range of original pieces and shoes.
Finally, long-time local fashion brand Scintilla will also be making a return to Raglan stores with designer Rebecca Dowling bringing the label “back to the people of Raglan.” While on a smaller scale, Rebecca brings a select collection of her gorgeous, original Raglan-flavoured pieces.
Jet Collective will be having drinks and nibbles to celebrate their new look and members this Friday 12th from 6pm onwards. The Shack will be kindly providing the nibbles and the collective warmly invites the community to join them.
