Cité Soleil: The clothing line giving back to Haiti

Check out this fly up and coming brand

When it comes to fashion, sometimes the most astounding element of an up and coming brand is the story behind the clothes. For David Jean, creating his own line meant connecting to his roots, and giving back in the process. Cité Soleil is a fashion haus that produces high-end casual & leisure wear. The name of the brand derived from the city Cité Soleil, which is an extremely impoverished and densely populated commune located in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area in Haiti.The brand is characterized by its bird logo which references the Kingdom of Haiti Flag from 1811-1820. As an ode to his land, Cité Soleil Brand partnered up with Project 4 Haiti to donate 10% of each sale to their trusted non-profit Haitian organization. These donations will help improve the economy and the education system of Haiti. Keep an eye out for David Jean and his fast rising brand. The clothing is undoubtedly fly, but what's even more important is the message behind it.Check it out below!
