About Me

 

 

Jacob hails from Kingston, Jamaica, where he was born and raised in the heart of the city's vibrant yet challenging ghetto. Growing up as a member of the Rastafarian culture, in this environment, he mastered the art of making do with what he had, earning him the title of Master of Recreation and Upcycling. For Jacob, nothing goes to waste. He transforms worn-out pants into stylish waist purses, adding art and leather to create prized possessions. His desire to be himself fuels his creativity, allowing him to flourish as a Creator.

 

 

Jacob's unique creations have attracted a notable clientele, including American singer-songwriter Erykah Badu and rapper Busta Rhymes. He was one of the pioneering artisans in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, long before the area became fashionable and trendy.

Known as a prolific creator, Jacob's friends often call him a machine due to his tireless dedication and the fact that he crafts everything by hand. Jacob's innovative spirit and relentless work ethic continue to inspire those around him.
