Quality Inspires

African Designer Adelke Sijwuade

“Style is an expression from within that comes out in many ways” - Adelke Sijwuade

This is a great video on style, confidence and how important it truly is to be you. Individuality is something rare these days, sadly I personally feel it’s becoming extinct. Hopefully this video will motivate you to embrace and appreciate who you are a tad bit more peace.

This video was taped at “Jumel Terrace Historic District” an amazing place in Uptown Manhattan that I recently visited, read a bit of the history i’m sure you will find it equally as interning as I did.

Meet Alexis Walker and Gina Klein Yao, the duo behind the California based luxury jewelry and accessory company ” Jagger Edge”. I had the pleasure of meeting with Alexis & Gina at the New York International Gift Fair (N.Y.I.G.F) for a brief product review, thank you for the invitation ladies. After reading a review onHandle Bar Magazine I had to contact my boy Yao for there info. Jagger Edge is the kind of company that truly makes you warm and fuzzy inside, creating amazing products with quality materials unlike the cheap stuff you see in a mall kiosk or the over priced boring stuff at the Apple Store Jagger Edge creates quality products that truly compliment your personal style. After picking the brains of these two amazing ladies you will automatically see the future for this company is very bright, feeding off inspiration from two different era’s Jagger Edge combines with great energy to bring you the finest Jewlery pieces, home goods and Iphone and IPad accessories.

Ladies I truly enjoyed meeting with you and I have a great amount of respect for what you do I will continue to support you…. for you are truly the quality that inspires!

Special Shout out to Josiah Esowe of Ape House Magazine for capturing the moments.
