Our story

We are here to change the narrative.

Mocha Jane was created in 2022 from a personal quest for something seemingly simple yet profoundly important: fleece-lined tights that truly matched my brown skin.

I love skirts and shorts in the winter, but I hate being cold! I live in Northern Ohio, and the Lake Effect struggle is real. But the biting cold of winter shouldn’t limit my style or comfort. However, when I searched for fleece-lined tights to match my brown skin, I was met with a sea of beige options that seemed to ignore the existence of darker shades.

The frustration grew. It wasn’t just about staying warm; it was about representation. It was about feeling seen in an industry that overlooked the diversity of women’s skin tones, especially in cold climates. It was a realization that felt like an exclusion from something as fundamental as warmth in the cold months.

Feeling invisible in a market that should cater to all shades, I decided, ‘Screw it, I’ll do it myself.’ I embarked on a journey of dyeing and experimenting with fleece-lined tights, investing endless time, money, and sheer determination to perfect color formulas that celebrated the beauty of diverse skin tones.

Mocha Jane isn’t just a brand; it’s a reflection of a need unmet, a gap I felt compelled to fill. It represents the embodiment of inclusivity, a statement against the oversight of the fashion industry. My passion led me to seek a solution to a problem faced by many, and Mocha Jane stands as a beacon of representation and empowerment.
