The Faith Jacket is named after the African American painter, writer, mixed media sculptor Faith Ringgold. Ringgold was raised in Harlem, NY, her parents were part of the Great Migration. She is best known for her story quilts which have political themes and reflected her upbringing during the Harlem Renaissance. Faith Ringgold is a talented woman who inspires us to tell stories through our jackets, much like she does with her quilts. Faith jackets are made in whole or in part from vintage quilts.
