Jessica Jenness of Jeness Finesse
"My mission is to make the world more colorful, natural and handmade."
Jessica is a mother of two beautiful children and any free time she has she is either doing yoga, drawing or sewing. She started out making yoga clothes for herself because she enjoyed sewing and didn’t want to spend a ton of money on cute yoga pants. Once Jessica started she loved it, especially creating designs and watching them come to life. Then she found screen printing and was able put her artwork on the clothes that she had designed.
The clothes Jessica makes are made from organic cotton blends in a variety of colors. She believes handmade has more to offer because a little piece of the designer goes in to each piece.
This spring and summer Jessica has funky new colors but also has the more traditional colors, that can be customized to your individual needs. She has a variety of colors and styles at Synergize Yoga in Anoka.
