About me
My name is Ava, and I'm the founder of Ava Jeans. I started this brand when I couldn't find the perfect denim skirt… so I made one!
Ava Jeans gives secondhand denim a second life. Each skirt is handmade by me using preloved jeans from local thrift shops. That makes every piece sustainable, affordable, and totally one of a kind.
Because my skirts are made from jeans by lots of different brands, the original size labels don't match each other. A size 6 from one brand can fit like a size 10 from another. So I don't go by the old tags. I measure the waistband of every skirt myself, and then I have real people try them on so I can see how each one actually fits. The size you see on my site is based on how the skirt really fits, not on the brand it came from.
The name Ava Jeans comes from me! My first name is Ava and my middle name is Jean, so it just made sense. Simple, personal, and perfect!
Hope you love your skirt as much as I loved making it!
xoxo,
Ava Jeans
