The Collection

Two heirlooms. One institution.

The Art of Heritage

Every design begins with a story.

From the colors and symbols to the materials, structure, and smallest details, the HBCU Heritage Collection is intentionally created to honor the character and distinction of each institution — HBCU culture and school pride, reinterpreted through a luxury design lens.

Whether carried on campus, at an alumni event, while traveling, or as part of everyday life, each tote is designed to make a statement: I know where I come from. I know what I represent. And I carry my legacy with distinction.

The Bull

1867.

From its founding in 1867, Johnson C. Smith University has shaped generations of leaders in Charlotte and beyond. The Golden Bull is more than a mascot — it is a symbol of strength, tenacity, and the enduring legacy of an institution that has never stopped moving forward.
