The Design Studio
Sitting at the heart of the design process, Aje’s hand-crafted heritage stems from an unwavering love and priority of artisanal sensibilities. Traditional techniques and craftsmanship underpin Aje’s quality of design, with hand-painted prints, natural fabrications and raw edged finishes forming the soul of each seasonal collection. The design process starts with intricate sketching, before the Aje Design Studio handcrafts ornate toiles for review before the final pieces are created with the utmost love and care. Prints are hand painted with an array of techniques including watercolour and acrylic on canvas before being translated into digital form, as are the embellished pieces, with each sequin sewn carefully by hand.
Our Stylists
The team across Aje’s stores in Australia, New Zealand and online at ajeworld.com, are trained to offer experiences where the Aje customer is empowered to embrace her own unique sense of style. Pieces are uniquely presented to customers where they receive one to one service in finding an outfit unique to them. With Aje’s extensive apparel, accessories and jewellery collections, the team are able to create full custom looks styled carefully for each customer.
