It’s no secret that office is a serious sucker for a good collab, so when we caught wind of the ASHYA x Saint Heron capsule collection, we were over the moon—unifying function and style is no small feat, especially when the product looks this good.
The exclusive collection, set to launch later this fall, represents the magic that can occur when two distinctive collaborators speak the same creative language. As a contemporary label that prides itself on creating fashion-forward and travel-friendly accessories for the modern day adventurer, ASHYA has perfected the art of purposeful design. Add the touch of Saint Heron, the creative agency launched by Solange Knowles, to the table, and you’re cookin’—with heat.
Combining the utilitarian closet staples of the belt and the bag, the collection introduces the leather ‘Palmetto Mini’ in white and black Onyx, which can be worn as a crossbody, a handbag, or our personal favorite, a belt. So, watch your back conventional accessories, ASHYA x Saint Heron is coming for you.

"BLUE" highlights the anti-conformity in today's youth.
Jamari: I think it’ll be cool if this time I wrote a letter or monologue of sorts to myself on this moving fleet of emotions I have surrounding the duplicity of being human and being black — this just might explain what this NO COLOUR’ MO’ COLOUR thang is a little better.
Kennedy: I feel that..not too long, but tell me a little more.
So, tell me what is it then, to believe you’ll ever be more than just the splinter of shimmering color that finds itself wedged between luck and survival. I hear a fervent turning of pages, a few legs shaking, teeth chattering and the wind between both chin and neck as I offer you a head nod in solidarity, you as in you and me right now in front of this mirror.
I’ve simultaneously fallen below and risen above, just to get in the moist, sweat-heavy position of your spirit. I’ve read “the books” some more than others and read others more than myself, all of this because I know we are conditional beings, we protect and love our conditions even when we don’t want to.
Oh what? You think you’ll just come in and take away this self-hate? Or ignore this thing called color on your skin — be kidding me, in this very hour, even second, if you tell me in this lifetime I’ll just be able to absolutely define myself by something I’ve created or want to be — this is potential I must forget.
Hello, I am an identity thief…I take joy, give life and make life all in a flash.
I come in the night, morning and the day, I was even there for the very moment you’ve decided to join our race.
Maybe there’s a reason why the moment you were introduced to the world and left the stasis of your mother’s womb, you began to cry, maybe you knew the smell of trouble before your first blink.
A forceful wind and transitional wave brought us here and the silver blush of the moon will continue to have us cramped into the night, staring at society in those faces around our dinner table each evening, but I ask you how long?
