Kolye TJN

Kolye TJN aims to create innovative, progressive designs for a growing global audience – humans with visionary taste and a desire to reach beyond the ordinary. We are here to challenge traditional thinking and approaches to fashion, in favour of inclusivity and fluidity. 

Kolye TJN is a progressive, felt-based retail brand necklace for both women and men, launched in 2020. All the collections are created in Canada by the in-house designer and dedicated production team. Tijen began the initial design process and was later joined by Angie, with her energy and creativity. The one hundred percent, sustainably sourced, wool-felt pieces transcend traditional notions and aims to reach beyond its designated function. It wraps the user in a warm embrace and connects all in their common desire for love, beauty, and humanity.

Kolye TJN also includes an educational component which allows students in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Manitoba to experience the design and production process through a Co-op program.
