Our Story
Every stitch tells a story.
Every piece carries a journey.
Ovae is where timeless design meets the hands that make it,
crafted to be part of your life for years to come.
Our Story
Ovae began with a simple belief that the things we carry should be more than beautiful. They should hold meaning, tell a story, and be made with care.
From our light-filled studio in the Noosa Hinterland to the skilled hands of our artisans in Indonesia, every piece is crafted with intention, heart, and respect for the people and materials that bring it to life.
We choose leather with intention - sustainable, full of character, and beautiful in its raw form. Hardware is kept minimal, letting the leather speak for itself, softening and deepening with time, carrying the marks of the life you live with it.
In a world rushing forward, we choose a slower path. Our small-batch process gives each piece the time it deserves, avoiding waste and honouring the artistry of the makers whose skills have been passed down through generations.
Ovae pieces are made to journey with you, to be worn, loved, and woven into the rhythm of your life. They are companions for everyday moments and milestones alike, created with the hope that they become part of your story.

Meet the Founder
Jackie Jennings — Creative Director
Jackie is the creative force behind Ovae, part designer, part business owner, part storyteller, and always a seeker of beauty in the everyday.
Whether she’s developing a new leather piece, capturing moments through her lens, or sharing wine and laughter with friends, Jackie’s world is driven by connection, creativity, and curiosity. Inspiration strikes everywhere, from the colours and textures of her travels to the quiet rituals of home life.
Her dedication to crafting pieces that feel timeless and intentional is unwavering. She’s been known to chase down ideas across continents - riding through Rajasthani villages in search of the perfect kantha quilt, pairing Italian leathers with Indian textiles, and collaborating closely with skilled artisans in Indonesia to bring each design to life.
Equally at ease wandering a local market or sitting front row at a fashion show, Jackie’s signature style blends the old and the new, the global and the familiar. Every Ovae piece carries that fusion - a story stitched into leather.
Jackie hopes each piece you choose becomes part of your own story, carrying with it the hands, hearts, and traditions that brought it to life. And if you’d like to see the care that goes into every step, discover our commitment to people and planet here.
