The Foundation of Grace
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." - Ephesians 2:8
As a Black woman and founder of The Calico Boutique, my journey has been one of grace, faith, and perseverance. Today, I want to share how God's grace has not only transformed my life but also shaped the very foundation of our brand.
The Power of Grace
Under the old covenant, we were bound by law—a system of dos and don'ts that no one could perfectly fulfill. But through Christ, we entered into a new covenant of grace. As Paul writes in Romans 6:14, "For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."
This transformation from law to grace mirrors my own journey in creating The Calico Boutique. Each product line, each design choice, each interaction with our beloved customers reflects this fundamental truth: we are saved by grace, not by works.

The Grace Journey
As a Black woman in business, I've faced numerous challenges. But like Paul writes in Romans 8:37, "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." This victory isn't through our own strength, but through His grace.
Reflecting Grace in Fashion
Our faith-based fashion collections reflect this journey:
Calico Men

Each piece tells a story of grace, faith, and victory.
A Message to Our Brothers and Sisters in Christ
To every reader who has felt the weight of expectations, remember: you are saved by grace. Your beauty, your worth, your purpose—all are gifts from God, not earned through works.
This Black History Month, we celebrate not just our heritage, but the grace that has carried us through generations. As your sister in Christ and founder of The Calico Boutique, I invite you to embrace this grace-filled journey with us.
