The Melanin Manifesto V2 · Litany Tee

from £26.90

Four lines you already knew were true. I AM ROYAL. I AM ROOTED. I AM RADIANT. I AM ENOUGH. Each « I AM » set small in terracotta, each attribute large in ivory, spaced like the page of a printed manifesto, signed at the foot by a slim gold cartouche: THE MELANIN MANIFESTO.

The story of the design

What it means

A manifesto is not a mood: it is a position. These four attributes are stated, never argued, because they were never up for debate. Typography only, no icon, no illustration: the words carry everything, worn close to the skin they celebrate.

Part of the Essentials collection by Bana Bilaka: evergreen pieces, worn statements.
