Who We Are

I was born in Jamaica, and that shapes much of how I move through the world. Over time, I noticed how many of the people closest to me are also Caribbean, across different islands and backgrounds. Each island carries its own history and character, yet there are so many shared values that connect us. Broughtupsy. Resourcefulness. Pride. Familial connection. You
recognize it almost instantly, anywhere!

After giving birth to my son, I reflected a lot on what I loved about my childhood and how much of that was just from being raised Caribbean. Then came the harder question, how do I give my son those same values while raising him outside of the Caribbean? It made me think intentionally about how culture is passed on. Through family, stories, music, food, and the things we see and live with every day. I wanted a visual way for him to see himself in the culture too, and clothing felt like a natural place to start. So I began searching for Caribbean clothing right after he was born. Something he could wear, or we could match in….that didn’t feel like a souvenir. I didn’t realize how hard that would be to find!

So since what I wanted didn’t exist, I decided to create it.  That idea became All Caribbean, a way to carry our culture into everyday life. Whether the Caribbean is where your story began or became part of it somewhere along the way, we invite you to join us on this journey.
