Behind the Brand...

Jenna, Creator & Founder

House of Olives was born during a season of motherhood and reflection. After becoming a mother, I found myself longing for a slower, more intentional way of living—one rooted in home, heritage, and surrounding myself with things worth keeping.

As I began curating my wardrobe more thoughtfully, I searched for garments that felt timeless, beautifully made, and worthy of being passed down. Inspired by family photographs, European heritage, and the beauty of everyday life, House of Olives became a natural extension of those values.

Today, we design each collection with the hope of creating pieces for the timeless woman, wife, and mother—garments to be worn often, cherished for years, and perhaps one day passed down to the next generation.

Thank you for being here. It is a joy to share this journey with you.

Mellisa, Developer & Seamstress

Mellisa is my sister-in-law and an important part of bringing House of Olives to life.

Working alongside me in garment development and production, she helps transform each design from concept to finished piece. With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and garment construction, she plays a valuable role in refining patterns, perfecting fit, and ensuring every garment is thoughtfully made.

Together, we share a love for timeless clothing, traditional craftsmanship, and creating pieces designed to be worn often, cherished for years, and passed down for generations to come.
