Green is the New Black, Darling!

Caribbean fashion has always brought the heat—but now, she’s cooling down the planet too. From Trinidad to Jamaica, Barbados to Belize, our designers are showing that sustainable doesn’t mean sensible. It means sensational.

So grab your coconut water (with the biodegradable straw, please) and let’s dive into the region’s top eco-glam warriors who are proving that you can serve looks and save the earth—at the same time.

Meiling (Trinidad & Tobago)

The OG of elegant island chic.
She’s been doing slow fashion before the rest of the world even caught up. Think natural fabrics, timeless silhouettes, and pure Caribbean craftsmanship.

“If minimalism had a masquerade band, Meiling would design the costume—and it would still be chic in 10 years.”

Korto Momolu (Belize / Liberia)

Upcycle, but make it fierce.
With roots in Belize and designs that celebrate the African-Caribbean diaspora, Korto creates fashion with fire, flair, and eco-focus.

“She’s the Beyoncé of eco-couture. Period.”

JèBlanc (Barbados)

Bajan brilliance with an edge.
Shaakira J’Blanc delivers small-batch beauty and upcycled magic with hand-dyed fabrics that would make Rihanna raise an eyebrow—in a good way.

“If Rihanna opened a boutique on the South Coast, this is what she’d sell.”

The Cloth (Trinidad & Tobago)

Where fashion meets activism.
Robert Young doesn’t just make clothes—he tells stories, starts movements, and hand-dyes a revolution.

“It’s fashion with a conscience and a cause—no basic vibes allowed.”

Uzuri International (Jamaica)

Runway-ready, planet-friendly.
From pageant glam to street sass, Uzuri crafts fabulous footwear ethically—because your heels shouldn't leave a carbon footprint.

“You can’t walk a mile in their shoes without saving the world—one strut at a time.”

Tanya Marie Design (Jamaica)

Sleek, sustainable, and so Caribbean cool.
Deadstock fabrics? Check. Zero-waste cutting? Absolutely. Tanya Marie is a design darling with eco-smarts and serious style.

“She’s giving ‘new age island boss babe’—eco-credits and all.”

Bien Abyé (Haiti)

Heritage meets haute couture.
Dayanne Danier partners with Haitian artisans to create wearable love letters—each piece hand-dyed, hand-stitched, and heart-made.

“Every piece is a love letter to Haiti, signed in couture.”

D’Marsh Couture (Jamaica)

Tailored to you, tuned to the planet.
Glenroy Marsh serves red carpet energy with sustainable swagger, proving that slow fashion slaps.

“If red carpet looks went green, this is who they’d call.”

The Wrap-Up

Sustainability is no longer a side note—it’s the headline. And in the Caribbean, we're not just joining the movement—we're leading it, wrapped in raffia, batik, and brilliance.

So the next time you're shopping for that brunch ‘fit or Carnival afterparty slay, ask yourself:

“Is it eco—or is it eh-eh?”
