Petit Kouraj, My New Obsession

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that all of you had a great day and were safe as much as possible. In the times that we all live in, we all need to treat each other with kindness and love, but I think I was born a hippie, and still believe that be kind will get you very farther than being mean to each other.

One day, I was reading the November issue of Instyle Magazine and I saw this handbag that intrigued my interest. So I went online to see more about this fashion brand and I'm in love with everything that I see and I want one in my closet for the Spring and Summer. 

Petit Kouraj means "Little Courage in Haitian, (Such a beautiful meaning if I do say so myself.) Petit Kouraj is the creation of fashion stylist, Nasrin Jean-Baptiste. Born in London to Haitian immigrants, Jean-Baptiste amassed over a decade’s worth of experience as an international fashion stylist before creating Petit Kouraj. An innate desire to create something meaningful lead Jean-Baptiste to develop a luxury bag line full of unique personality; both lively and chic qualities uncommon within conventional brands.

Following a trip to her native country of Haiti in 2018, she was immediately inspired to do something that frightened her – acting from her core, and with the help of a little courage, Petit Kouraj was born. Now based in Brooklyn but handmade in Haiti, Petit Kouraj makes fun, stand-alone pieces of wearable art that celebrate a love of knitwear, sculpture, and identity.

In an effort to cultivate mindful consumption and greater transparency in fashion production, Petit Kouraj endeavors to evolve and adopt thoughtful practices. The brand is passionate about using responsibly sourced materials and collaborating with workshops that support our values. Just as in life, they believe in the constant necessity to learn and evolve and as we grow, we will continue to improve our practices.

Their bags are lovingly handmade using organic cotton net bags, 100% leather handles, and rayon fringe. Each strand of fringe is individually sewn 656 times to create our large bags and 342 times for our mini. It’s a labor of love and takes 8-12 hours of manual labor to complete a single bag. 

The Ombre Mini Fringe Bag In Tan is the object of my affection, I love the leather handles, the color would go well with all of the things that I wear in the Spring and Summer. This bag retails for $345.00.

Happy Tuesday and Welcome Back to my Blog, I'm so happy that you stopped by here. I hope that you all are ready to share in my love for the latest Fashion Trends that has my full, undivided, attention. When I was growing up, I was always under the impression that all of us had to wear Black, Gray, and any other neutral colors to match the whole Winter Season. I wore my dark colors and don't get me wrong that was nice but looking back at the outfits that I wore I wished that I would've added a touch of color to them ( Who wants to look like you are constantly going to a Funeral) I love how color gives you a little pep in your outfit and how it gives you a instant mood lifter that will anyone looking at your outfit. Today's Blog Post is all about Colorful Coats, I'm loving this trend so much because why would you want to stay in the background when you were meant to stand out. From rich, saturated, jewel tones, to beautiful pastels this is something I love to

Hello again Fashion Lovers and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that you all are doing well and always in style while doing so. A jacket is the one thing that every person needs to have in their closets. I feel a jacket is the finishing piece to a outfit just like a watch, a handbag, or the the right pair of shoes. Jackets are really are having a real moment in the Fashion world and I must say, I'm in love with Jackets right now and quite honestly, I have a feeling that they are going to be here for a couple seasons on the runways.  Now I know what many of you are thinking, A Bomber Jackets in the Heat of Summer.

I have two Bombers Jackets that I think you all will love. The first is a Olive

How To Look Chic In The Heat

Happy Tuesday Fashion Lovers out there, I hope that you are being your absolute stylish selves and spreading positive vibes wherever you go. Let's be honest with each other for a minute, we all love the summer for what it represents, spending time with our families and friends, going on beach vacations, enjoying the long summer nights, but we can not stand the heat. The heat does not go well with your outfit at all or anything else for that matter. In this heatwave that we all are experiencing (And some people believe that Climate Change is a hoax) we have to adapt to the heat and still look stylish. Having the right outfit in the heat is essential for a woman to have in her closet. I love wearing dresses in the Summer, They are light and airy and they can be dressed down for a casual barbeque with friends or dressed up for a night. Another thing that I love about dresses is that they are a complete outfit so when you have an unexpected event to go to, you're covered.
