ASD Wearable Art

My intention is to continue to provide quality, ethically produced, Jamaican-made clothing to the Caribbean market and to help place Jamaica on the map for exquisite designer clothing. My vision is to own a fashion house comparable to the famous labels of New York, Paris and Milan. ASD will be considered home to a range of illustrators, designers, seamstresses and tailors, providing internships for young hopefuls, employment for many, and helping to build the fashion industry in Jamaica and the region.

Bresheh Bag A Dreams

The demand since we launched in August 2015 has been tremendous! Bresheh Enterprises designs and manufactures a range of  quality,100% customizable products in Jamaica including: backpack, totes, crossbody bags and lunch bags with plans to expand into other areas. In eight months, we have made and sold over 500 bags. We started on our verandah with one industrial sewing machine and we are now up to two which means that our current capacity stands at 4 bags per day. However, the demand for our products is far greater than what we can supply at the moment. We made a bold move by participating at Expo Jamaica 2016 and coming out of that we have approximately 1000 orders to fill.

The mantra was to take Brand Jamaica to di world. Here’s an example of one of our expressions – “a nuh nutten” (it’s ok).
