About the Product
Introducing Junonia
As a “plus-centric” company
that focuses solely on the plus-size women’s market.
Junonia specifies its own unique line from a variety of
factories in the USA and
around the world. Over 80% of items sold
are exclusively developed by Junonia with many items
manufactured in the USA. Junonia creates unique designs
to its own size specifications and quality standards. The
fit and quality control is maintained at its administration
headquarters.
The Junonia catalog also features
beautiful natural fabrics, especially in its casual styles.
“We focus on fit and quality,” says top
merchant Nancy Mendele. “Fashion may drive our
customers to buy, but long-lasting quality will bring them
back.” Nancy’s merchandising group is always
on the lookout for styles and silhouettes that work for the
Junonia customer. “We stay in the center of style
and trend, while interpreting those trends to best effect for
the Junonia customer” states Mendele.
Junonia also promotes designs that solve
the specific clothing issues of active women, whether it is
chafing, bounce-control, or abdominal support. Examples
of its innovation include the Dual Layer short that solves the
problem of shorts that ride up, with a unique two-layer design.
The cross-back Chloroban® tank provides the shoulder
freedom of an X-back with flattering and full back coverage.
Support sport capris with inner abdominal and back
support. The popular Double-scoop, Double-layer sport bra that
uses two full layers of firmer-than-typical cotton/spandex, both
front and back, to result in a sport bra
with reliable and comfortable control. The cut is higher in the
front and at the sides to make it a best-selling product.
Technical Details and Fabrics
Since larger bodies, and fast-moving
bodies, generate heat, wicking fabrics that control moisture
and modulate the body’s temperature are very effective.
As top athletes know, more comfort means more speed, and
for the larger woman just starting out, it also means a lot
more fun. “These clothes just make me feel like
moving,” said one customer.
Junonia carries brand name technical
fabrics such as Coolmax®, Lycra® and Chloroban®,
and Supplex®. Junonia also creates technical wicking
fabrics under its own trademark called QuikWik®.
Polypropylene is another fabric that Junonia customizes
for its popular swimwear line. Most swimwear and
beachwear items are certified chlorine resistant. Sun UV
protective clothing is another popular category for Junonia.
