"I founded Twigg & Feather as an extension of myself; I wanted to create a line that not only encompasses my own personal style, but also was grounded in my desire to build something.
I love to design and consider it my own creative art form. I am committed slow fashion and to creating quality clothing that will last season over season. Each piece I bring to the market is produced at the highest quality, and for a fair price.
I want every Twigg girl out there to bring their own personal style to each piece, and hope they lovingly reach for them in their closets often. I want them to love themselves, feel good and be comformable when wearing anything Twigg & Feather. I truly love what I do." ~Jenn

The Name
Twigg & Feather was given its name after the owner Jenn LeBlanc became a mother, the symbolism of a Mama bird building her nest from twigs and feathers spoke to her, and seemed like the perfect name for a company that was inspired by a mother fulfilling a need to be creative and care and provide for her children.
The Owner
Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia Jenn has been fascinated by knitting needles and fashion design for as long as she can remember. After studying Commerce at Dalhousie University, Jenn ventured to sunny California and gained her Knitwear Design degree from FIDM in Los Angeles. She worked for the international brand BCBG Max Azria and for Planet Blue, a brand that encompasses the true Californian way of life. After learning all she could from working in LA she decided it was time to head home. Jenn wanted to be able to work from home to care for her baby boy Maddox, but still craved an outlet to be creative. From then on it was history in the making as Twigg & Feather was born ...
