Rewoven

Fashion as a bridge between
two continents

What is Rewoven?

Sustainability first

Every piece is designed with longevity and responsibility in mind, fashion that honors the earth and the hands that made it.

Afro-Latin diaspora artistry

We amplify the voices of designers across the African diaspora and Latin America, cultures too often overlooked in mainstream fashion.

Real economic impact

We amplify the voices of designers across the African diaspora and Latin America, cultures too often overlooked in mainstream fashion.

Rewoven is a cross-Atlantic fashion and cultural exchange initiative. We advocate for sustainable clothing design that highlights the creativity and craft of designers in West Africa, starting with Nigeria, while connecting them with artists and institutions in the United States.

The roadmap


Phase 1 — Launch the shirts

February 2026 (Black History Month). U.S. artists design. Nigerian artisans produce. We ship and sell globally via our Shopify store.

Phase 2 — Study abroad

Summer 2027. Take 5–7 students to Enugu, Nigeria to collaborate with local textile artisans at SLANG Global's El Centro Cultural Azúcar.

Phase 3 — Expand the collection

Grow beyond shirts. Partner with more designers. Reach more diaspora communities. Build a living, breathing fashion exchange.
