De jour Designs ("of the day designs") was commenced by Keirann Parker, Mackay in October 2006 as the direct result of not being able to identify suitably affordable fashion jewellery within the area.

Keirann commenced designing and manufacturing fashion jewellery for family and friends.  As a result client requests came flooding in.

De jour Designs were then requested to place commissioned items on displayed in various retail outlets within the Mackay area.    As a result a client base register was formulated for special requests and occasions.

De jour Designs desire was to provide affordable fashion jewellery to everyone and then commenced Market attendances in Marian, Mackay, Airlie Beach and Moranbah.

In June 2007 De jour Designs was invited to appear at The Bridal Expo held at North Mackay Bowls Club - with outstanding results and client registers for wedding packages.

In July 2007 De jour Designs was invited to appear at the Walkerston Craft Weekend again with outstanding results and client orders.

In late 2008 the demands for Keirann's designs became too much to run from her home based studio and a suitable shop location was identified in Marian.

In August 2008 Dejour Designs opened at 20a Daly Street, Marian and was immediately welcomed by locals.  Today Dejour Designs has in fact outgrown it's current location, however with the lack of suitable locations available we decided to expand with a tea garden extension commenced in October 2009.  The Tea Garden was up and running with some fabulously delicious treats.  Childrens B'day partieswere a welcome relief for the Valley.  Group Bookings and workshops were welcome.

Workshop variety trippled with outstanding attendances.  Our school holiday workshop programs were booked well in advance offering mums & dads a well deserved break and fun for all.

New workshops were introduced each school holiday period. 

Due to the overwhelming amount of orders and demands from customers additional staff came onto our team and now offer amazing workshops and talent within the team.

In 2010 we attended many market and expo's withint the Mackay area and will continue to do so in the future if possible.

We are continuing with our annual Mentoring program with Marian Primary school kids.  This years project is hand made and hand painted ceramic pieces.

Keirann's vision is to relocate the shop back to her hill side home gallery in 2011 with a new Gallery/Workshop/Studio under construction.  Weather has slowed construction and now is considerabley behind schedule.  Minimal trading is possible with stock being placed in storage.

SURPRISE - Keirann and husband Brad are now expecting their 4th child due in August 2011.  We are hoping all goes well.
