Why I Created Pennies & Pens
I created and launched Pennies & Pens in November of 2020 because I was looking for something comfortable and cute to wear. I wanted something that expresses my unique style and individuality as well as a brand that would appeal to consumers.
Furthermore, I wanted to create a product that fits a variety of different body types and ethnicities. Hence why Pennies & Pens is a collection of 100% organic cotton T-Shirts. Organic cotton softens naturally over time with each wear and wash. It’s also free from any harmful chemicals. In essence, Pennies & Pens T-Shirts get better with time.
How I created the Pennies & Pens Samples
As a fashion designer, creating samples for each collection is one of the most important things I do. For those that don’t know, my process of designing a collection starts with sketching out my ideas, then creating my designs in Photoshop then getting samples made.
Once I get samples made, I do a quality control check. This consists of making sure that the printing looks good and that the design is high quality. Reviewing samples is important because this is when I decide if I need to make any changes or not move forward with that design.
Pennies & Pens Summer 2023 Collection
Pennies & Pens Summer 2023 Collection is inspired by K-Pop music. As y’all know, I have become an avid K-Pop fan. Therefore, I wanted to create a collection themed around K-Pop. It was so much fun designing this collection and I can’t wait to release it!
Pennies & Pens Summer 2023 will officially be released on June 19, 2023 aka Juneteenth. I wanted to release the collection on Juneteenth because as a Black and woman owned business, I thought this was the perfect release date.
Juneteenth signifies the freedom of Black Americans from enslavement. And now that it’s a national holiday, I believe it should get the recognition it deserves. Stay tuned for the release of Pennies & Pens Summer 2023 on June 19th!!!
Unboxing Pennies & Pens Summer 2023 Collection Samples
In the vlog below, I unbox the Pennies & Pens Summer 2023 Collection Samples. This was such a fun vlog to shoot because I am always unboxing K-Pop albums so it was fun to shoot an unboxing for my own brand.
During the vlog, you’ll see me reviewing each design and talking about how I created the collection. It’s a dope vlog that gives you insight on my process as a designer.
