Mia Presley Designs Joins the Jaftex Family of Brands
Jaftex Corporation announced today that Mia Presley Designs — the Canadian, design-led fabric brand known for its thoughtfully curated collections and contemporary aesthetic — is joining its portfolio of brands.
This collaboration brings together Mia Presley Designs’ distinctive creative vision with Jaftex’s nearly century-long commitment to serving the quilting industry through exceptional brands, service, and distribution.
Founder Lissa Cloutier will continue to lead the creative direction of Mia Presley Designs, ensuring the brand’s distinctive artistic vision remains at the heart of every collection. Supported by the resources, manufacturing expertise, and global distribution of Jaftex, Mia Presley Designs is positioned for its next stage of growth while remaining true to the creative spirit that has made the brand so distinctive.

Its fresh creative vision and carefully edited collections make it a natural addition to the Jaftex portfolio, expanding the company’s ability to offer retailers an even broader range of distinctive design styles.
“I’m an entrepreneur at heart, and my journey into fabric manufacturing began after I dusted off my sewing machine during COVID. When I couldn’t find fabrics I wanted to create with, I started Mia Presley Designs.”
— Lissa Cloutier, Founder of Mia Presley Designs
“Building the brand from the ground up has been an incredible journey, and I am excited for this next chapter with Jaftex,” Cloutier continued. “It gives Mia Presley Designs the opportunity to grow while allowing me to focus on what I love most—curating beautiful fabrics.”
