Thread / THred / Noun

- A theme or characteristic, typically forming one of several, running throughout a situation or piece of writing.

Black Threads Collective is a lifestyle brand that embodies themes of experiences that unites us as a people, while simultaneously reminding us of our differences worth celebrating.

The Black Threads was conceived in August 2019 as an outlet of expression after relocating to Canada from Jamaica, and developing what could only be described as an intense longing for home, friendships built on shared experiences and the support of those I loved.

The Black Threads Collective is a tribute to those deep, intense, rich, eccentric features of our personalities and our experiences that remain unconventionally conventional.
