the new heritagebrand
New Heritage made a splash onto the fashion scene in 1988 when founders Cynthia Belinda Wells Jones & Rodney Jones birthed their bold street wear brand. Bursting with dynamic graphics and an appreciation of African American culture, it’s no wonder why stars such as Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock and the Wayans Brothers were seen donning New Heritage designs on shows like Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air or Living Color! Nowadays Tamira is determined to further expand this story and create her own unique legacy with the brand.

So following my passion ,I took matters into my own hands by starting an independent project aimed at responding directly to their day-to-day struggles on the front line .
