Meet our Founder Jackie Galleghan
Founder, Creative Director & Head of Sustainability at madre natura
I’ve always loved fashion not just the clothes, but how they make us feel. madre natura was born during the pandemic, a time that sharpened my vision for a better, more optimistic future. The world paused, and so did our habits. It became clear: fashion needed a reset.
My journey began at Vinnies in Sydney, where I saw firsthand the volume of discarded clothes most of it ending up in landfill. This sparked a deep awareness of fashion’s environmental and human cost. Later, while studying at The Fashion Design Studio and working at Shona Joy, I realized my dream wasn’t just to design beautiful clothes, but to create meaningful change.
At madre natura, we challenge overconsumption and fast fashion’s toxic legacy. Our mn_Circular program promotes quality, longevity, and circularity. We’re proudly made in Australia and committed to transparency reconnecting people with the makers and materials behind every piece.
Fashion has always been part of my life from sewing with my mum to collecting vintage pieces and admiring craftsmanship. Now, it’s my mission to use fashion as a force for good one garment at a time.
