About Us

At Cardciety, everything begins with connection — to our roots, our community, and the legacy we carry forward. Founded with the belief that representation matters, we design products that speak to both personal expression and collective pride. Our brand is built on three pillars, each represented by a distinct line that reflects a different part of our story.

Kin & Sole – Luxury That Carries the Soul

Kin & Sole was born from something deeply personal. Inspired by the memory of my late brother, the line is a tribute to his fearless individuality and unapologetic spirit. He lived without compromise, embraced life on his own terms, and taught me the value of authenticity.

Kin & Sole represents the pinnacle of our craft: timeless, unisex leather goods designed for those who value luxury and durability. Each piece is created with premium materials, meticulous attention to detail, and the belief that what you carry should be more than functional — it should embody your journey.

Kin & Sole is not just a bag. It’s a story, a soul, and a legacy carried forward.

The Legacy Collection – Pride in Every Stitch

The Legacy Collection was created to honor Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) — institutions that have shaped leaders, inspired change, and built communities for generations.

As an HBCU graduate, I know the pride that comes with carrying your school’s name. But I also noticed a gap: while many brands celebrated larger institutions, few represented HBCUs with the quality and craftsmanship they deserve. The Legacy Collection bridges that gap by offering officially licensed leather goods that reflect the excellence and heritage of each institution.

Each piece in this collection is more than a bag — it’s a symbol of identity, pride, and connection to a legacy greater than ourselves.

The Hill Collection – Cards That Speak Our Truth

Cardciety began with paper. The Hill Collection, our line of greeting cards, was created to fill a void: cards that authentically reflect HBCU voices. Too often, the aisle didn’t reflect our milestones.

The Hill Collection is our answer. While we focus on graduation cards, we often serve as an HBCU's creativity partner that are designed to allow their staff, students and supporters feel seen, loved, and celebrated. They’re not just paper — they’re pieces of art, storytelling, and representation in its most personal form.

One Brand. Three Expressions.

Together, these three collections form the heart of Cardciety. Whether you’re carrying Kin & Sole, repping your school with The Legacy Collection, or sending a message through The Hill Collection, you’re part of a larger story — one of pride, resilience, and representation.

We don’t just create products. We create connections. And we’re honored to have you as part of the Cardciety community.
