The Taíno, known for their wisdom and refined social structures, serve as a guiding influence in our approach to modern, island-inspired fashion and décor. We honor their legacy by incorporating elements of their culture, such as earth tones, natural materials, and designs that echo their reverence for nature.

-
Atabey in the Taino Religion was seen as the creator deity and most important god for the Taino people. She was the goddess of the moon, fertility and freshwater. -
Nitaínos is the word Taínos used in describing the noble class in their society. -
History : The logbook was a meticulous record of official details accompanied with data such as dates and times. Daily ship’s logs were written on a slab of slate. Each new watch officer would erase the previous entries and start over, thus starting the day with a clean slate. This is just one of many phrases from the time of masted sailing that we still use in modern times. ‘Clean slate’ is a term that we inherited from sailing. -
History : Naval and merchant ships utilized a wooden board attached to a length of rope to measure the speed the vessel was traveling. The unit was calculated by counting the knots in the string that passed through the sailors hands as they moved along. Incidentally, this is where the unit ‘knot’ came from, a measure we still use on the water today.
