Justine Haines was founded by Sandra Parker in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, Sandra had been working in various marketing and management positions for large corporations for the last 25 years and thought it was her time to branch out and scratch that entrepreneurial itch.
Through the effects of the pandemic, Sandra was taken aback by overconsumption and societal waste, which largely deepened her concern for sustainability.
Being a fashionista and having six young nieces inspired the idea for a cool period panty; one that strayed from mature demographics and offered a wide array of energetic prints that well-reflected the youthfulness of fashionable young women today.
Sandra put her idea to the test, utilizing her fashion community’s input to form the brand that Justine Haines is today.

I had only met her a few times and studied Spanish in order to take part of this project. Said Shakira to me, on this ultra-hot day in Colombia: I remember you, with the RED hair! I've kind of adopted this color ever since! People tend to remember the hair:) It suits my personality perfectly: wild, bold, fashionable!
