Production Seamstress - Contractor

Fanm Djanm, which means “strong woman” in Haitian Kreyol, was founded in 2014 as a collection of eight headwraps, which Paola Mathé sold directly from her apartment on weekends. Today, Fanm Djanm has transformed into a headwrap collection and lifestyle brand that creates sustainably, focuses on community and serves to both empower and inspire women to live boldly.Keeping those guiding values to the forefront - sustainability, community, and empowered inspiration - we are proudly zero-waste, choosing to create high-quality, handcrafted accessories which elevate your wardrobe and call your closet home. Centering cultural musings and thoughtful design we believe in collaboration, honoring the maker, staying imaginative and remaining open to creative possibility.

The Team

Since relocating to Austin, Texas our team has grown into an energetic unit of five. We laugh, we dream, we think and we create. We dig art and culture, are inspired by light and textiles, and know fashion is a celebration of self. We’re looking to grow with the right people who bring enthusiasm and passion towards their skillset.

We are seeking a freelance contractor to cut and sew small quantities of hair accessories to meet order demand. You will be required to produce items in a reasonable period of time and in accordance with company quality standards. The right candidate will work remotely but must visit the office bi-weekly to deliver finished products.

The position may require lifting and/or pulling moderate to heavy items such as rolls of fabric.

You will be provided samples of our product as an example on how to construct each item prior to starting on the inventory development list (we will ask to see samples of your sewing quality when you come for an interview). Once approved, you will manage completing each item on the inventory list in a timely fashion.

Please submit your resume and highlight previous sewing experience. Please send images of completed sewing work.
