LIGHT COLLECTION. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CONTINUED LOVE AND SUPPORT
WE ROSE FROM THE EARTH.
SUKOYA, established in 2022, is a brand I've been conceptualizing for years, the origins lie within the one I hold dear to my heart, my mom, and this brand is a way for me to dedicate my life work to her. The name derives from the trees in the Redwood Forest, my mom describing them as "tall giants, filled with wisdom, towering over us with peace." I decided to name my brand after this trees because I feel like we resemble them, growing from a little sapling, lacking branches and leaves, to a tall tree filled with wisdom, knowledge, and experience, extending our branches outward as a reflection of such. I aim to make clothing that provides you comfort, the piece that acts as a bark to your tree. As an independent company, I appreciate all support shown, and am grateful for each and every person that supports us during these humble beginnings!

“Making a successful luxury brand in nine years is genius. It’s a feat that I admire and hope to continue building upon with a rich legacy. He revolutionised streetwear and luxury that crosses generations and decades. He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
