SUHTHERN BAG©
ATL ART, WORLDBOUND.
I started this piece in 2018 with scissors and glue—pages torn from Ebony, KING, and the stacks we grew up on. I built a boiling-pot collage of the South I know: strip-club neon and church shoes; red-clay backroads and airport runways; yard signs and side-eye; hustlers who had to shout just to be heard, and country quiet that ends at 10 p.m. It took years—2018 to 2020—because the South is slow-grown. We’ve been slept on, but we don’t sleep.
Five years later I lifted that art off the wall and laid it on leather. This weekender carries the same duality—city tempo, country roots—stitched into every panel. It’s for the friend, the cousin, the traveler who wants to take a piece of Atlanta and the American South everywhere. Not just a bag: a story that finally got on the magazine cover—and now it gets on the plane with you.
What's inna south?
LOW N SLOW
Some things you can only get by letting time do its work.
The South taught us that—beats that didn’t hit radio overnight, businesses built one customer at a time.
This bag comes from that same place.The artwork was born, sat, breathed, matured—and then we lifted it onto leather.
Like a pot that stays on low, the flavor shows up because you waited with it.
Tap the tag. It tells you where it came from and when it arrived—quiet proof from a piece that was grown, not cranked out.
The south has something to say
They slept on Southern art like they once slept on Southern rap—till the bassline shook the country.
Duality in the South is that 808 on leather: country quiet meets city hustle, You’re not just wearing a print—you’re amplifying a catalog the coast forgot to credit.
This is gallery work that clocks miles, not dust.
TAKIN CHANCES
The South teaches you to bet on yourself before the world bets on you.
Hitting “Buy” is that bet. You move, the world moves. And because risk loves company, 20 Tired Young Man Championship hats are seeded in early orders.
Might open your box to the crown—might not—but the real win is the move you made.
