Jaqueline has contributed as one of Kaleo’s fashion designers, creating and consulting in all things relating to apparel, surface pattern design, colourways, and styles. This design was inspired by the Kawakawa found on trail walks-its vibrant glossy green heart shaped leaves are often bug bitten and droopy with moisture.
