The Product:

Can’t have Kanaval without fresco, bebi! I have to get my fresco fix every time I am back home. As a student in Haiti, fresco was essential on hot afternoon days after dismissal and when you're following the Rara band underneath that Jacmel sun. I used to mix so many flavors together: red, blue, yellow!” -Steven Baboun

These earrings were made in collaboration with Studio Baboun, a creative house dancing with innovation, the fantastical, & meaningful storytelling. Studio Baboun is based in NYC with roots in Haiti.
