Kiwi born Jen Barnett launched Paperswan after spotting a gap in the Wellington bridal market. Jen’s early career was in media before she went to work for British bridal and womenswear designer Stewart Parvin, who is not only couturier to Her Majesty the Queen but has also designed for other members of the royal family.

After being based in London for 15 years, Jen returned home to set up business on her own. Her vision was to bring new and inspiring bridal labels to New Zealand, while also creating an unforgettable experience while shopping for your wedding dress.
