Sulwe — Banned Book Colorway
type: Product
description: Inspired by Sulwe by Lupita Nyong’o, this literature-inspired colorway honors a beautifully written and deeply necessary story about colorism, self-worth, and belonging. Sulwe follows two sisters — one dark-skinned and one light-skinned — who experience the world very differently, revealing how deeply societal bias shapes identity from an early age. The book was challenged and banned for confronting these realities directly, despite the fact that colorism and unequal treatment exist whether acknowledged or ignored. Nyong’o’s story affirms that difference is not something to be erased, but something to be named, understood, and honored. That message carries into this colorway. Thoughtful tonal shifts and layered depth reflect the journey from invisibility to self-recognition, creating a palette that feels gentle, intentional, and quietly powerful. Sulwe is a celebration of seeing oneself clearly and reclaiming joy — translated here into fiber with care and purpose. 🎥 Be sure to check out the video show-and-tell clip in the photos for a closer look at color and texture.
