My fashion comes with a message. We are all perfect because of imperfections.

— Angelle Chang

OUR STORY

The creative brain behind, Angelle Chang, founded the brand in 2013 in devotion to her son, Jowin.

Jowin was born with a left cleft lip, this oftentimes attracted people’s gaze towards his mark. As a mother, Angelle felt that she should draw the attention to something other than his facial anomaly. This is how she came with the idea to start designing clothing for her son; which resulted into a fashion label – Angelle Chang

Angelle draws inspiration from the Netherlands and all items are handmade in Holland using European fabrics.

BIOGRAPHY

INSPIRATION

JOWIN was born with a left cleft lip in 2011, after which Angelle was left determined to take away all negative attention coming in Jowin’s way with people’s glares. As Angelle said, “My message is “perfect because of imperfections”.

“I was continuously working on making designs that would really fit my son and make him proud, as well as being confident about himself. I decided to give people a very good reason to stare; to make him the best looking and most trendy boy they have ever seen!  I wanted people to look at him like a perfect boy, like any mother would look at her son!”

OUR DESIGNS

JOW Junior and JOW designs are handmade with love and care. We make trendy and comfortable outfits through our modern fusion of Dutch traditional Folklore fabrics and Asian traditional fabrics. Dutch and Chinese patterns, traditional finishing techniques can be observed in all of our handcrafted items.
