It feels so good to find out something we made in past was actually inspired by an ancestor. When I made my hats a few seasons ago I had know idea it was an unconscious inspiration. Apparently my friend another artists brought this to my attention and I love her for it. What made it so special is that its almost the same e...xact pattern. The only difference is I used fabric and they used beading techniques. They even have the button snaps just like the ones I made. It is truly a blessing to see the beauty of this
I was under the impression that this pattern was a European pattern I was giving an African Street Couture look, little did I know this has always been an African Design for the Mfengu Boys Cap - Fingo Hat enjoy the pics and enjoy the inspiration I have made from the ancestors. Bless Mama Africa

Peace to the reader that reads and views our works and appreciates the clever way we do a wide variety of expression through art. So as you can see our work is not very distinct this is due to our own personal backgrounds of culture and cultures that is just mashing together. The Militant spirit is very strong in the mens custom pieces but the womens designs is getting so much more sophisticated and chic. this is just the tip of the iceberg. We also working on many other things stay tuned as in the next few weeks we will be taking you on a rollercoster ride of jewelry, and accessories, with some pics of events and just a small peak into the world through the eyes of Samsara.......
Feb 6 marks the birthday of legendary Bob Marley and with all the festivities surrounding this great musician's earth strong we decided to make some limited custom Militant influenced pieces. So we reconstructed licensed tees and cut and sewed each item with a little embellishment. These are built with the soldier of JAH Army in mind. We did a wide variety and also have a few with Selassie and other Militant key political figures with liked minds. Enjoy
So here is some more designs we worked on for this years collection. We are gonna have a sample sale on many of these items avaliable in a few weeks for the Pan African Film Festival in LA. This is our Vintage Mod inspired dress bleeding with ethnic chicness. Also a look at our Tunic Dress both avaliable in many different fabrics. Stay tuned more designs to come...
The artwork for some of the shirts are coming along and the many different artists that we are working on range from graphic designers to graphitti and fine art painters. Its very exciting to see the project coming together, but we recently found out that one of the artists who I wanted to work with has passed on. The late Jamal Pete I was always familiar with his work and it brought me great sadness to find out he has moved on to another dimension. With that said whatever energy you put out into the universe comes back and so I put ou the energy for an equally great artists and feel like that such artists and I will have that contact soon. To catch you all up we are working on pieces for the Pan African Film Festival and Marley shows in Cali and Miami. The pics for some of the work will be displayed on blog real soon.
Art has won again, instead of picking up some regular graphic designer, we decided to seek out our fav artists and do colabs with them. These shirts are gonna be DOPE if any of you guys know or are artists and want to get down with the new movement let me know.
