About us

From lockdown to launch

Blessed Apparel UK was birthed when the world shut down, and I found myself locked away from my mom who is living with dementia. I wasn't allowed to see her during lockdown, so to deal with the stress, I took the advice of a YouTuber who said, "when you've finished watching this video go and learn something new!"

I did. I taught myself a graphic design and video editing, using creativity as my lifeline through those dark days. And as I journeyed, rediscovering my faith through Zoom church gatherings, it hit me: there's power in purpose and community. 

My 27 years in marketing within the black hair and beauty industry fuelled my love of all things fashion. So why not blend that passion with my newfound skills? And just like that, the idea behind Blessed Apparel UK was born—a celebration of our strength, our style, and faith.

Started from the bottom and now I'm here.

Blessed Apparel UK has gone through several changes since I started, take a peak at the first video I created. Why streetwear, you ask? Well, life's a battlefield, we're all soldiers in our own right and it's tough out in these streets. Inspired by Proverbs 31:25—"Clothed in strength and dignity'  Blessed Apparel UK isn't just about clothes. It's about sharing the messy, imperfect journey, inspiring others to embrace their purpose and chase their dream. You can do it!
