Bahawear® was born from exclusion — not just as a brand, but as a response. When our founder wasn’t offered the same size-inclusive costume options as others, she was handed scraps and told to make it work. So she did — while in college she began by building her own costume on an ironing board and crafting her first pair of shoes at a her study desk.



That act of creativity sparked a quiet revolution. Soon, others came forward —men and women who didn’t wear standard sizes but still wanted to shine during Junkanoo rush- out, at Carnival, parties, and cultural events. They didn’t want to shrink themselves to fit in — they wanted to show up as they were and be celebrated.




That’s what Bahawear® is about.


From handmade costumes and accessories created in America to unforgettable pop-ups and cultural weekends, the Bahawear® team has made it clear: everyone deserves fashion that fits and celebrates them. Now, it’s time for the next big move — opening our first retail location: The Bahawear® Store.






🛍️ Why The Bahawear® Store Matters


This won’t be just a store. It will be a year-round sports and cultural hub — a destination for Home Decor, Clothing, Carnival, Junkanoo, Samba looks, straw hats, shoes, scarves, jewelry, sportswear and accessories that are as bold and vibrant as our customers.

With a permanent space, we’ll be able to:

  • Offer a wider, ready-to-shop selection of handmade styles

  • Serve walk-in customers during Mall hours

  • Hire and train talent from our community and give back

  • Build lasting relationships beyond pop-ups

  • Show up in a bold way — every day in a Retail Space





💸 What We Need and How the Funds Will Be Used

As a grassroots, self-funded brand, we’re proud of how far we’ve come. But to bring The Bahawear® Shop to life, we need a community-powered push.

  • $3,000 – First month’s mall kiosk rental + deposit

  • $2,000 – Inventory (costumes, accessories, hats, packaging)

  • $1,500 – Signage, branding, and visual displays

  • $1,500 – POS system, Wi-Fi, and staffing

  • $1,000 – Launch marketing + local promo events
