Ode to Harlem

Meet Ode to Harlem.

This strand pays homage to the cultural opulence and artistic brilliance of the Harlem Renaissance, a vibrant era that defined the 1920s and '30s. Our founder's paternal lineage is deeply rooted in the rich history of old school Harlem, passed down through generations which began with a young girl who migrated to Harlem at the tender age of thirteen: my great-grandmother.

This traditional tie-on waistbead features a stunning array of beads aligned in an intricate pattern. Each bead is a tribute to the sophistication, mystery, and elegance that characterized the Harlem Renaissance.

In color psychology, black is a powerful symbol of sophistication, mystery, authority, elegance, and prestige. Wear Ode to Harlem to cultivate these timeless qualities within you.
