ROYAL JELLY HARLEM

My friend Maya – pictured above with her daughter Beatrix – is the gorgeous founder of Royal Jelly Harlem, an African-inspired clothing and home line she started with her mother, Teta. After many trips to West and South Africa, they were inspired by the artistry of the printed fabrics. Their colorful clothes help contribute to the growth and prosperity of Africa’s beautiful cultures and are made by African-born dressmakers and tailors right here in NYC.
