Hero x Urechi Oguguo Black History Month Bag

“As an Igbo Nigerian, my concept for our Black History Month collaboration, ‘Roots of Resilience,’ is a deeply personal celebration of the beauty and strength of individual and cultural identity. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant and traditional Eastern Nigerian Ankara fabric, my design serves as a vibrant tapestry that weaves together the attributes I hold dear, passed down through generations and across cultures. The rich and vibrant floral patterns and colors of the fabric form the canvas upon which I celebrate my roots. From the cherished family bonds and nurturing abilities inherited from my ancestors to the echoes of laughter, wit, and wisdom shaped by my heritage, "Roots of Resilience" illustrates the significance of self-love, acceptance, and the celebration of my identity.”
