I find myself reaching for my comfy clothes and never wanting to get out of them lately—and I can't be alone in that feeling. I've been searching for that same comfort in clothes I can wear out in the world. I started borrowing my husband's old button-down shirts for their relaxed fit, but they lack the bold patterns that I love to wear.

So I partnered with a shirt manufacturer who had already developed and perfected their own button-down pattern—one with a low minimum order quantity and an inclusive size range that would let me apply my textile designs to their proven garment. I wanted the comfort of Clay's loose-fitting shirts made with organic fabrics, versatile enough to wear over dresses or with skirts, comfortable enough to be a daily uniform, and bold enough to make an unapologetic statement. The Bowling Shirt is my answer. This launch introduces The Playground—a new section of my website for experimental products. Here I test new ideas to see if they'll develop into regular offerings. Items in The Playground may never return, and if they do, they might be transformed. It's my space to explore, and yours to discover something truly unique.

At a time when Black women are being erased, my designs do not go quietly. This collection is me taking up space, trying something new, and offering comfort while refusing to blend into the background.

These bowling shirts bring together hand-drawn patterns, textile collages, and dyeing techniques born from scraps, selvedges, and happy accidents. From the stained glass brilliance of Prism Petals to the sustainable beauty of Frames, each piece tells the story of transformation—waste becoming wonder, experiments becoming essentials.

This is a Preorder — Made Just for You!
I’ve teamed up with a small-batch manufacturer to create limited-edition shirts, sweatshirts, and tote bags (coming soon, I promise!) featuring my original designs.

When you place your order during this special preorder window, I’ll gather all orders and have them produced in one big batch. Why? Because I want to include my signature handmade touch — a fabric collage and handwritten note — with every package.

Preorders are open until August 16th, and items will ship out from Brooklyn four to six weeks later — likely in mid to late September. As soon as they arrive from the manufacturer, I’ll ship them to you right away. You’ll get a tracking number the moment your order hits the mail.

These pieces are made just for you and won’t be available again this season, and they may not come back the same way twice — don’t miss out! Head over to The Playground now.
