About Island Originals

Island Originals™ was born from the need to represent our culture boldly, unapologetically, and in our own words.

I started this brand as a creative outlet to honour my Caribbean roots and the legacy of those who came before me. Growing up surrounded by music, rhythm, Carnival energy, and stories of resistance and pride, I saw how deep our heritage runs—and I wanted to reflect that through art and fashion.

This isn’t just streetwear. Every design is a statement—from lions in crowns to bold quotes like “We Are the Legacy” and “Born From Vibes.” Our tees speak on culture, identity, and unity, made for anyone who reps their roots and walks with pride. Whether you’re on the road at Notting Hill Carnival or stepping out in your city, Island Originals is about wearing your story loud and clear.

Every piece is designed by me—from concept to final mock-up—with production handled by trusted partners using quality materials. My goal is to create timeless pieces that honour heritage yet feel current and street-wise.

This shop is for the diaspora. For the rebels. For those who know where they come from and aren’t afraid to show it.

Thank you for supporting a Black-owned brand, a cultural movement, and a legacy in motion.
