What JEAN AND TEMPLE LTD does

Jean and Temple Ltd is a UK-incorporated private limited company that designs and sells ethical, slow-fashion women's knitwear and apparel made from cashmere, silk, and wool blends. Founded in 2021 by Miranda Waller, a self-taught designer originally from Hong Kong who now operates from Suffolk, the company produces a curated collection of shirts, jumpers, dresses, trousers, coats, and homeware (including a yak wool blanket) priced between approximately $158 USD and $954 USD. The brand emphasizes hand-dyeing and hand-finishing in small batches to achieve zero-waste production and one-of-a-kind color variations.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce model exclusively through its own Shopify-powered website, with worldwide shipping (free in the UK, £15 Europe, £19 rest of world). Its manufacturing is outsourced to a single small family-run factory in Kathmandu, Nepal with a Buddhist ethos, and yarn is sourced from a sustainable Mongolian spinner. There is no proprietary technology, no AI/ML component, no mobile app, and no disclosed headcount or external funding. Marketing is driven primarily by email acquisition (10% welcome discount) and organic social, with no physical retail or third-party distribution.

Revenue is generated solely through one-time unit-priced product sales (no subscription, no recurring model). The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no institutional capital, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed. Operating geographies span the UK, broader Europe, and global shipping on demand, but actual customer base dispersion and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The business model is structurally a lifestyle/luxury craft brand rather than a scalable technology or platform business.
