ROOTED IN JAMAICA BASED IN MIAMI SHAPED BY THE WORLD

Where Creativity Travels.

A creative studio with many rooms.
Original art, studio-made streetwear, handmade accessories, curated fashion, and journals for teens.
Different expressions of the same curious mind.

The Studio Philosophy

Not inspired by the world. Educated by it.

Everything I make starts with something I’ve lived, seen, or inherited. A grandmother’s name. A veranda in Jamaica. A street in Tokyo. The way my family tells a story three different ways.

Culture isn’t decoration here. It’s connection. Every room in the studio comes back to the same question: what do we carry with us, and what do we pass on?

STUDIO MERCH | DROP 001

Arriving October 28

Three graphic tees, a crewneck sweatshirt, and a woven patch, designed and pressed in the studio. Small batch, rooted in where we come from.

NEW STUDIO NOTE

Oh Shit, I Am The Elder Now

Bush tea for everything. Relatives with three different names. Inherited stories. And the mildly offensive realization that I’m now responsible for passing them forward.

Many rooms.
One studio.

Each space has its own voice. All of them are Kimlayn.

A clothing rack with colorful patterned dresses and shirts hanging on wooden hangers in a boutique. On the table in front, there's a pile of fabric or scarves, books about textiles and fashion, and a pair of sunglasses. Behind the rack, shelves display handbags in green, brown, and black, along with decorative hats and framed photos, with greenery adding a natural touch.
