"As a boy-mom turned Marvel fanatic, I, like so many other people, fell in love with all the elements of Black Panther. From Wakanda's rich culture to female governance, I was completely inspired by their world and everything in it. In creating our first collection of layovers, I wanted to pay homage to the story that inspired so many and express the adoration I felt for Black Panther and Wakanda. I also wanted to develop a product that would make my sons proud, and I think with this collection, we've accomplished all of that and more," said Founder and CEO Rachel James.
The collection features three designs inspired by minority artists: Vibranium Claws, Wakandan Tech 101 and Rituals + Royals.
Pear Nova also operates a studio in Lacuna Lofts.
