Tell us about JAEKE and how it came to be?

Jaeke in its essence if I am being totally honest here – was born out of my obsession with online shopping a little over 2 ½ years ago. I had just finished an entrepreneurial business degree and was working full time in hotel management. I couldn’t put my finger on it at the time, but I knew I felt uninspired and unfulfilled. Deep inside I knew I wanted a more creatively inspired life, where every day was a new challenge and I was working on something that didn’t feel like work. I wanted to put my business skills to the test and figured after having had a bilingual education of both French and English it was a no brainer to fuse my language skills, love of clothing and business acumen together. After months of research, I built up my network and gathered my first few pieces of stock. It was then I chose boxing day of 2017 to launch my online store. Full start-up style – Jaeke’s first orders took place out of the spare bedroom of my parent’s house, which later overflowed into a portion of the garage! Jaeke started out as an extension of my shopping addiction, but nowour raison d’êtreis to be more than just a store, our brand is a style driven online destination providing both men and women trendy, quality and affordable fashion you want to wear again, and again, and again…

Any advice for those wanting to turn their dream into a reality?

Invest in yourself, launch before you are ready and focus on setting & achieving small incremental goals.When I am not working, I am still learning. Set aside time to observe everything and jot down ideas, connect with likeminded people or take a short online course. Business demands creativity, innovation and motivation. If you wait until everything is perfect,someone else will already be ahead!
