We aim to spread peace and joy by empowering our community to express themselves confidently. Positivity is contagious and we're hopeful for our future and the planet by encouraging each customer to be a part of positive change in sustainable fashion.
The phrase "chess, not checkers" suggests that a situation is complex and requires thoughtful strategy, as opposed to a simple solution. It is often used in a business or political context to indicate that the situation requires careful examination of all options and is not easily solved. The comparison to chess implies that there are multiple aspects to the situation and that each move has significant consequences. It is a metaphor for thinking ahead and considering all possible outcomes, instead of making a rash decision."
In the future we hope to bring on additional partnerships to assist us in our brand mission of helping redefine the fashion industry standards for sustainability and ethical responsibilites.

“Making a successful luxury brand in nine years is genius. It’s a feat that I admire and hope to continue building upon with a rich legacy. He revolutionised streetwear and luxury that crosses generations and decades. He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
