AFF&JAM Creating Wearable Art Pieces

Welcome to this week’s spotlight, where we delve into the creative world of fabric illustrators Kelesi and Jamie, the dynamic duo behind AFF&JAM, a vibrant wearable fashion brand based in South East London.

Their Spring/Summer edit, exclusive to Farly, features garments made from a blend of silks, linens, and cotton mixes in a palette of beige, creams, lemons, and limes. Each garment is hand-painted with their signature symbols and designs, making every piece a unique work of art. Some of our favourite items from this fresh edit include the Kenkey Shirt, an ivory sheer relaxed vintage shirt with an abstract pattern in muted pastel tones; the Cho Cho Trousers, ivory block pattern drawstring waist culotte trousers with a minimalist abstract design; and the Kelewele Shirt, a sunshine yellow relaxed vintage shirt featuring bold contrasting symbols.

AFF&JAM stands for African and Jamaica. Kelesi is from Ghana, and Jamie is from Jamaica. They source preloved and vintage clothing, each piece hand-painted using silk and fabric inks. Their pieces are carefully hand-printed and painted, making them uniquely exclusive.
