Who is the behind SK Collections?
The Mother and Daughter Team of Yvonne Hayles and Sandra Kennedy are the duo behind SK Collections.
Yvonne Hayles, had spent fifty (50) years in the ‘rag trade’ in England and now retired, lives in Montego Bay Jamaica. Whilst in the UK she owned and operated a very high end garment factory servicing top designers such as Arabella Pollen, Jasper Conran (OBE – Officer of the Order of the British Empire), Nicole Farhi (CBE – Commander of the British Empire). Ms. Hayles built a strong reputation for detail, punctuality and quality. She was contracted to reproduce lines for many of the major shows and then to produce their orders for timely seasonal delivery.
Additionally, she produced for retail in major stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols to mention just a few. The quality of Yvonne’s workmanship and attention to detailed production ensured her repeat business from these top designers with others clamouring to engage her services.
Sandra Kennedy is one of Jamaica’s leading designers, best known for her “Chad” brand.
The “Chad” sportswear line of clothing was to be found in over sixty (60) resort shops across Jamaica, from Port Antonio to Negril and all major department stores: Lees Fifth Avenue, Ammars, Springdales
