I began my Etsy shop officially in December of 2012. Having always been very skilled with sewing and crafts, I had always used this skill for providing myself with a tranquil escape into my own world of colours and designs that spring from imagination with bursts of vibrance. Now I want to extend my world to provide you with some of the gems of my creativity.
This store concentrate mainly on designs that are inspired by Afro-Caribbean culture and if you have every been to my beautiful home island of Jamaica, you will know that this means, colour, energy, bashfulness, earthliness and love. My inspirations are also taken from Rastafarian culture with its infamous recognition of simplicity and harmony with our world as well as its official colours, red, green and gold.
I fell in love with African wax cotton, kente cloth, mud-cloths and other beautiful dyed and woven fabrics coming from the different regions of Africa. Each packed with history, it's own pride and luxury. These fabrics are not only beautiful but so very luxurious that it is difficult to find fabrics comparably as beautiful and with such high quality. The mixes of bright and brave colours and patterns brings not only life to every piece but also a sense of individuality to the holder. If fabrics can be so beautifully bold why shouldn't we.
In a combination of my desire to create, love of Afro-Caribbean, Rastafarian and African culture, my forever flowing inspiration and ideas have found a home in Soulful-Roots.
It is my joy to create beautiful accessories for women, men, children and the home that have as much impact for the buyer as it did for me in my realisation of a piece born from imagination.
I hope that you enjoy the items listed in this store. I'm starting humbly with a small collection and hope that you will continue to support as we grow.
Thank you for taking the time to visit Soulful-Roots.
