{"id":46910,"title":"JCXVI: One Year On","description":"A year of JCXVI!","content":"<p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/dhpyveywqb0zhprkkbblnrksi4n6yomst8qktsvy0t71du9s.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"dhpyveywqb0zhprkkbblnrksi4n6yomst8qktsvy0t71du9s.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/>We\u2019ve been in business for just over a year now, and what started as a simple idea built on strength and the belief that what we wear should represent something greater has evolved into something far more impactful than I ever imagined. This brand was born out of love and loss. After my mum passed away, I wanted to create something that honored her memory. This week, she would have been 60, and there\u2019s no better time to reflect on how much she inspired the journey of JCXVI.<\/p><p>JCXVI has always been about more than just what you wear. From day one, our goal has been to create pieces that carry a message, that stand for something real. Every design has a purpose, every detail is intentional, and at the core of it all is the belief that true power isn\u2019t just worn; it\u2019s shared.<\/p><p>Looking back on this first year, the support has been incredible. Seeing people not just wearing JCXVI but embracing what it stands for has been truly humbling. The conversations sparked, the messages received, and the stories shared.. these are what make it all worth it.<\/p><p>This past year has also been about learning, pushing boundaries, and refining what JCXVI is. From launching new designs to introducing the \u2018DMs are always open for a chat\u2019 message, the journey has been about building a community where resilience and connection thrive. It\u2019s been about inspiring each other to keep going, no matter what.<\/p><p>Of course, we\u2019ve made mistakes along the way.. and we will continue to do so. But it\u2019s in those moments are where we find the greatest opportunities for growth. Every misstep is a chance to learn, to adapt, and to become better. And that\u2019s what this brand is about: evolving, staying true to our mission, and never being afraid to make the necessary changes along the way.<\/p><p>So, what\u2019s next? Growth. New ideas. More ways to empower people to wear their strength every day. We may look into refining our logo to make it more inspiring. JCXVI isn\u2019t slowing down, and as we step into the next chapter, I\u2019m more motivated than ever to build on what we\u2019ve started.<\/p><p>To everyone who\u2019s been part of this journey, thank you. Your support means everything, and this is just the beginning.<\/p><p>Wear Your Strength, Not Just For Yourself, But For All.<\/p><p>Jak<\/p>","urlTitle":"jcxvi-one-year-on","url":"\/blog\/jcxvi-one-year-on\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/jcxvi-one-year-on\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/jcxvi.co.uk\/blog\/jcxvi-one-year-on\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1741171210,"updatedAt":1743524414,"publishedAt":1743524414,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":322427,"name":"JCXVI"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/b8urses0cmqkxgoqffi7dtbpubiahwb62ex9v78hp20nyaxi.jpeg?z=1.1&fx=0.52702776763705&fy=0.45454545454545","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/b8urses0cmqkxgoqffi7dtbpubiahwb62ex9v78hp20nyaxi.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855&z=1.1&fx=0.52702776763705&fy=0.45454545454545","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/b8urses0cmqkxgoqffi7dtbpubiahwb62ex9v78hp20nyaxi.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440&z=1.1&fx=0.52702776763705&fy=0.45454545454545"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":42837,"title":"Finding Light Above The Clouds.
