Our Story
An update from Founder and Creative Director Jane Lewis
I’d like you to be the first to know that I’ve decided to take a break for now. A pause to reimagine new ways to present pieces and share new edits.
It’s not forever; I’ll be back.
The website will continue trading as normal until 25th February, after which time it will no longer be open for online orders. We invite you to shop whilst you still can.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyalty and support over the years — it truly means the world.

The Brand
Jane is a truly British brand, established (as Goat Fashion) by founder and designer Jane Lewis in 2001. The label now synonymous with understated luxury began life as a cashmere range for the fashion cognoscenti, and has since developed into a full ready-to-wear collection. Signature luxury knits have been complemented by equally recognisable separates, dresses and outerwear.
ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Founder and Creative Director Jane Lewis is the quintessential self-made British woman. She believes that her absence of formal fashion training has enabled her to learn “on the go” through sheer grit, hard work and life experience. Formerly assistant to Elspeth Gibson, working on beautiful, elegant evening wear, Jane was inspired to shift her attention to something every woman needs: a working wardrobe.
A working mother of three, Jane’s daily life is as varied and busy as the lives of the clientele she designs for. Jane clothing is created for real women, who multitask as intrinsically as breathing, and who want to look and feel their best without fuss or ostentation. It comes as no surprise that Jane’s discreet celebrity following epitomises the modern successful woman: hard working, at the top of her game, effortlessly stylish. Victoria Beckham, Lana del Rey, Gwyneth Paltrow and The Duchess of Cambridge are among the brand’s quiet celebrity clientele.

"FOR ME, IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING LUXURY LOOK EFFORTLESS. I PRIZE STYLE OVER FASHION ALWAYS, BECAUSE IT ENDURES"
Jane Lewis, Founder and Creative Director.
The key to Jane’s success is its self-assured brand identity; its ‘handwriting’. Jane represents understated elegance for stylish, discerning women.
Each piece is individually tailored using only the finest materials. Crafted to the highest standards, Jane clothing has fast become the go-to brand for stylish investment pieces which truly endure, thanks to classic tailoring, attention to detail and luxurious materials.
Classic silhouettes and wardrobe staples are elevated above the conventional by clever colour palettes and inspired little touches. British style is characterised by its diversity, by its freedom. Jane has filled a real niche – classic pieces with universal appeal, but enough flair in the details to hang comfortably in the wardrobes of women whose style demands a little something out of the ordinary.
Jane clothing is found in multiple stockists.
