For Descendants... All Things Baby
Descendants. Where we began...
At four months old my nephew Jadiel was diagnosed with meningitis. This inspired me to share with him everything that I had learned about our identity as Dominican, American, Taino, African and European. I began with a simple desire, to make him a baby onesie.
Within a year Jadiel was wearing our first design, Folklorico.

Clothing, and accessories perfect to answer the question "What top would make my outfit Taino, but urban, but 21st century?" Our pieces are ethically made using recycled or natural fabrics. We work with artisans to ensure they receive fair pay for their pieces.
Your purchase supports our "Doing Good in the hood" efforts.
In addition to outfitting babies with pride, we believe in creating the societal infrastructure necessary to ensure they thrive!
We donate a portion of our proceeds to change makers around the world. Our face gaiters benefit Citymeals on Wheels. Our Coqui Face Mask benefits Navajo/ Hopi COVID Relief.
Locally we advocate for reform in the areas of public transportation, criminal justice reform and public housing. Our efforts contributed to the adoption of half price Metrocards, and the closure of Rikers Island by 2026.
Our contributions to our local community, and economy, earned us the Minority Owned Business Award for 2020 from the U.S. Small Business Administration New York District Office.
