Tiger Stripes

Tiger Stripes is a celebration of the soft curves and earned marks of a woman’s body — the stripes life gifts us as we grow, stretch, survive, indulge, and become. We’re taught to resent them, when really they deserve worship.

This piece is a small homage to the ancient world, when bodies were carved in marble and adored for their fullness, their texture, their story. Every curve, every line, every stripe carries a memory: maybe you stretched to grow a life, maybe you said yes to a beignet in New Orleans without apology, maybe your teenage summer at the beach came with a sudden growth spurt, maybe you fought through a diagnosis that tried to shrink your shine.

Whatever your story, you lived — and you lived well.

Let this piece remind you to honor the beauty that blooms with you, season after season, in this one wild and wonderful life.
