In My Bag: Black-Owned Brilliance
Honouring Black history by building with Black owned brilliance seen in the brand, Telfar. Investing where culture and commerce meet, and exploring what happens when access meets imagination. A lowkey study in accessibility as luxury, in visibility as power, and in luxury that doesn’t whisper. It declares. Every shade styled with intention, every frame directed with vision. Fashion isn’t just worn, it’s world-built & it’s curated.

Office Siren
Aiming to capture divine feminine energy of the office siren. The office siren is a common element of corporate folklore. She’s that girl, she’s always put together, and she always has a lipgloss on her for you in case of a bbe (bad bi*ch emergency). The office siren is more than just an aesthetic, it’s a state of mind and a way of being.
Osun: Goddess of the Sun
Osun [also known as Oshun, Oxum] is known as the “unseen mother present at every gathering” by the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria. Osun is the force of harmony, harmony we see as beauty, feel as love, and experience as ecstasy. She has many identities, namely as the “Iyalode”, which is the “(explicitly female) chief of the realm”; and as “Laketi” meaning “she who has ears, because of how quickly and effectively she answers prayers”. When Osun possesses her followers, she dances, flirts and then weeps — because no one can love her enough and the world is not as beautiful as she knows it could be.
Yemaya: Goddess of the Sea
Yemaya is a Nigerian deity considered to be the mother of all since she is the goddess of the Living Ocean. All life is believed to have started in the sea. Yemaya's colors are blue and white, and she is said to wear a dress with seven skirts that represents the 7 seas. Sacred to Her are peacocks, with their beautiful blue-green iridescence, and shells. The number 7 is Hers, also for the 7 seas.
