Shakuhachi – A Designer Fashion label

Boutique Ladies Fashion by Jessie White

The Shakuhachi fashion label has become a household name amongst fellow fashion designers and fashionistas. Jessie White is the Australian designer behind the Shakuhachi brand, which appears regularly in all the top fashion press including Marie Claire, Harpers Bazaar, Madison, Marie Claire, Vogue and Yen.

The Shakuhachi label was founded in the late nineties by Jessie.

“I’d had no training in fashion or design but found myself in Bali on the way home after a few years overseas – reluctant to get a job in the corporate world.”

The first ever Shakuhachi collection (if you can call it a collection) was a three-piece t-shirt range made on a budget of $400. The shirts were sold in a couple of boutique stores in Melbourne – The Shakuhachi fashion label was born…

Fast forward to present day – Jessie White splits her time between Bali and Australia.  Depending on the time of year, Jessie is either building up to a clothing range release or focusing on the business side of the fashion label.

Shakuhachi women’s clothing has come a long way from a three-piece t-shirt range. The label is well-known and highly regarded for its modern tailoring and intricate use of fabrics, prints and colours. Reflective of the beach lifestyle of both Australia and Bali, Shakuhachi clothing is always stylish without being pretentious. Shakuhachi clothing is available from multiple boutique stores throughout Australia, as well as internationally in the UK, USA, New Zealand and Japan.
