Our Full Story

Starting from humble beginnings on the Caribbean Island of Dominica, as a teenager I was always taken back by how expensive some popular brands were and unaffordable for most, plus there wasn't any Christ Centered clothing brands out there. I thought to myself, if it's God's will, then I will one day try creating by own clothing brand.

In my late teens I left Dominica for the UK, and while living in London and coming from a God-fearing country, I was again taken back by the state of people's little or no faith and love for God our Father and Christ Jesus. The phrase "I don't do God" was used by sadly many. I felt apart from church, I struggled to recognise the light of Christ in individuals on the streets of London and at work. 

One day while commuting to work, I meet a young Christ loving individual and at that moment I felt and saw the light of Christ. Meeting brothers and sisters in Christ at church is always a lovely and beautiful thing but meeting a Christ like individual / stranger on the street is what I call Angelic. From then I believe God was calling me to create something for his glory.

Our purpose and mission steams from MATTHEW 5:16, which is to let our light shine through fashion / clothing. We at BLACKTAPE believe we are all in this together as part of the body of Christ, to let our light shine before men for the glory of our Heaven Father, whether through Social Media, Fashion, Music and Art by expressing our love for others. It's A (Another) Christ Like Movement, so let's strive to change hearts and minds.
