Collection: The Tignon Collection

n 1786, colonial New Orleans passed a law forcing free Black women to cover their hair. They responded with silk, jewels, feathers, and gold — and turned an act of oppression into the most powerful crown in the room.

This collection honors six styles rooted in African tradition. Each mug features a different tignon — the Gélé, the Tête en l'Air, the Madras Tignon, the Angisa, the Moussor, and the Jeweled Silk Tignon. Six styles. One message. You cannot legislate away a crown.
