spotlight: ReneeQ's 0110 Collection

we woke up to this yumminess from ReneeQ on our facebook mini-feed this morning. they released the lookbook for their 0110 collection yesterday and we're in pure lust.

ABOUT ReneeQ:

An Afro chic and culturally inspired line of tee shirts embellished with African fabric, beads, trimmings, etc...

Bespoke brings the evolution of the Afro Diva! Sizes range from a UK 8-18.

Bespoke? Because no 2 tees are the same. Each one is unique, thus, you're ordering the same style but never in the same colours and combinations.

To order, please send an email with the code of what you want (RQBxyz) and your size to orders@reneeq.com

what a vibrant, colorful, and innovative way to incorporate african print! pure genius. purchasing another ReneeQ piece is certainly high on our to-do-list this year. see the entire lookbook here and get to shopping. need to know more about ReneeQ? we've featured the brand a number of times. read past posts here!
