About us

Jeannie McQueeny is a lifestyle brand that originated in Nassau, Bahamas in 2001 with one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery being designed to pay tribute to the colour and beauty of the islands. It developed into a ready-to-wear line of clothing in 2004, aimed at capturing the relaxed elegance and romance of resort living.

The line features kaftans, dresses, tops, and knitwear. Every piece is made by hand, embellished with exquisite embroidery or bead work that often incorporates gemstones. The collections are manufactured to exacting standards, using only the highest quality silks, linen, cashmere and pashmina fabrics.

Sales were initially to boutiques and private retail clients in the Bahamas, but stockists were soon added in locations as far ranging as Palm Beach, London, St. Barths, Gstaad and others. In 2008 the range was broadened to include swimwear, knitwear and accessories.

A happy development for Jeannie McQueeny has been its adoption of BREEF (Bahamans Reef Environment Educational Foundation). Each season we will design special Jeannie McQueeny BREEF tunics, and a percentage of earnings from these tunics will be donated to this very worthy cause, which does so much to foster educational awareness about the fragile and endangered coral reef eco systems both in the Bahamas and in the wider world.
