Dungeon Forward - SK Low Top - Kipendo - Melissa Mitchell Collab

KIPENDO (Love) When we get together to collaborate its about ascendance and freedom, but this time and by virtue of Melissa's inspiration, this collaboration is also rooted in love. It's a serendipitous release in a variety of ways but one that stands out today more than anything. Several months ago we decided to launch on Juneteenth to ensure perfection in the product but only today did I realize that it was also Father's day. If you know Melissa's origin story, which we will be sharing over the next several weeks, you also know how special that is. K I P E N D O directly translates to love and the layers of this design tell stories to include one's love of self, one's love of family, one's love of craft, romantic love and a trivial form of love simple known as twin flames. This one is bigger than a product you wear, it's a sculptural piece you hold on to to share with a loved one in the future.
