Heritage Engraved
Etched in Nature. Grounded in Stone.
The silhouette of a continent; a pulse of the earth. Wood and agate unite as elements shaped by time and carved with intention. Engraved wood speaks to roots that anchor us. The enduring strength of agate holds what time cannot erode. This design honours the bond between earth and ancestry, celebrating heritage as both foundation and compass, carried in the land and worn as belonging.
Royal Identity
Rooted in History. Crowned in Gold.
An imprint of a continent; a signature of the soul. Each line tells a story of origin, movement, and becoming. Gold rises as a symbol of ancestral inheritance and enduring hope. This design honours the unbreakable bond between the cradle of humanity and the diversity of its people, celebrating identity as lived experience and collective memory.
Black Identity
Rooted in Pride. Built on Legacy.
A celebration of self; a declaration of strength. Red for the blood of those who overcame, gold for the sun—the wealth and hope of the motherland, green for renewal—the land that sustains us, and black for the people—our skin, our strength, our identity. This design honours the truth that being Black is a legacy lived—carried forward with purpose and worn with pride.

It Began as One
Deka means "one"—a declaration that we are united, not divided. Centuries of wisdom, woven into every design.
Guided by Sankofa, we retrieve what was lost and carry legacy forward with purpose. Deka is more than a brand. It is a journey home.
