Artifacts of Identity: How Vintage Stamps Became Luxury Silk Scarves

Luxury is storytelling, and our stories deserve to be told loudly.

The With Love Collection was born from the belief that the African diaspora deserves artifacts that reflect its brilliance, its history, and its presence in the world. Vintage postage stamps are tiny time capsules, proof that our people have always traveled, always influenced, always mattered. When I first started The Haitian Croissant, it was to create a space for members of the Diaspora to find a home filled with information, recipes, and artifacts from our island-before the media attempted to ruin our image. I’ve collected vintage stamps, vintage travel ads and more in my personal archive with hopes to re-release these treasures in a new way.

Each limited-edition vintage stamp silk scarf transforms these historic stamps from Haiti 🇭🇹, the West Indies 🌴, and West Africa 🌍 into wearable archives. Printed on luminous silk twill and hand-finished to perfection, they are not just accessories — they are heirlooms. All of our colors are names after beautiful elements within the countries across the Diaspora.

Haiti — Citron celebrates radiant resilience and a legacy of art that outshines adversity.

West Indies — Abriko Orange captures the warmth, joy, and rhythm of island life where culture is community.

West Africa — Palmis honors ancestral tradition and the foundation of global Black identity.

Wear them as a crown. Frame them as art. Give them to someone whose story deserves recognition.

These scarves are proof that the diaspora’s beauty has always traveled first class.

Carry your culture with elegance and With Love.
