Retro Fabulous

Pretty In Pink designs retro-inspired ladies handbags, cosmetic cases and other accessories which are reproductions of novelty prints and cultural references from the 30s, 40s and 50s. 

When Jessica McKenzie (now 24) was 19, she made 'Pretty in Pink' -  in fact, Jess made a pretty lot of bags. Now she's got a pretty lot of customers who love her designs!

Prior to Pretty In Pink Designs, Jess began learning the business of fashion during her 4 years employment at a well known Sydney garment and accessories company. In this time she worked with many different fashion labels and studied at the White House Institute of Design.

Jessica loved vintage fashion but could never find accessories that did her vintage-circa-now style any justice. So in 2002, she started making her own that did.

The unique product materials have been chosen by Jessica to suit the harsh Australian climate. She has thoroughly researched her materials to ensure the highest quality and longevity of the product. The unique Pretty In Pink: Plastic Fantastic is machine washable and UV treated, preventing discoloration, fading, wrinkling and cracking caused by sun exposure. Clever huh!
