Inspired by the likes of Valento and Ellie
Saab, the Kuumba Designs label makes
a statement! Be it ostentatiously elegant,
provocative, bold or modestly stunning, her
designs cannot evade detection. They are
simply put – just amazing!
Esther loves cultivating happy clients
and demand for her clothing is global.
International clients would contact her via
her Facebook page or on WhatsApp to
create that one-of-a-kind garment, or to
reproduce a special piece they saw on a
client that they absolutely must have! She
is also kept busy with local clients who are
fortunate to have her right there in the
village of Anse LaRaye on St. Lucia’s west
coast, working from her Atelier. As Esther’s
collections fly off the shelves, her creative
juices conjure up new ones, and fashionistas
beat a path to her door in an attempt to be
the first to wear that Kuumba Design piece.
When she isn’t creating masterfully-rendered
clothing, Esther spends her time outdoors.
She loves connecting with nature and
would go to the forests, hike, visit waterfalls,
beaches and enjoy esthetically pleasant
sunsets. Being out there is conducive to
meditation, and the sounds of water falling
from the heights down to a pool or rocks
below, or the ocean’s waves, dashing itself
against the rocks as if to beat them into
submission, is soothing to her senses,
resulting in clarity of thought and vision.
She is fortunate to live in St. Lucia, where
the prolific beauty of nature is inescapable.
Enveloped by its sights and sounds, her
creativity is aided and masterpieces are
conceived.
If you’ll be in St. Lucia this December, be sure
to check out the upcoming Hot Couture at
Sandals Resort on December 7th, 2019.
Kuumba Designs will be there!
