What is the Roots Run Deep Sweatshirt? It is a handmade orange crewneck sweatshirt with a hand-sewn Africa continent appliqué in black and white dotted fabric, finished with a kente-style stripe in green, gold, orange and red. It is wearable art for everyday style, made in small batches in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Wear your roots on your chest. The Africa appliqué is cut and stitched by hand, then paired with a bold, warm orange sweatshirt that looks great with dark denim, white linen, and brown leather boots. The relaxed fit and ribbed cuffs and hem make it comfortable enough for errands and polished enough for brunch, events, and heritage celebrations.
Because each appliqué is placed by hand, no two sweatshirts are exactly alike. This is slow fashion made with intention for our community and tribe, not mass-printed.
