A tribute to Harriet Tubman through an interpretation of the headscarf in an iconic portrait photograph of her. Her original headscarf was described as maroon with white dots. AllVeryGoods researched textiles from the period and created a maroon, red and white pattern that is consistent with cotton fabrics of the time. 

Frederick Douglass said of Tubman: "The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism. Except perhaps John Brown, I know of no one who has willingly encountered more perils and hardships to serve our enslaved people than you have." 

The deep red colors are also meant to be symbolic of the depth of Harriet Tubman's conviction to the cause of emancipation. The white stars in the lower right corner are embroidered. They represent the constellation that she used to help guide her as she led people to freedom

About All Very Goods:

The foundational philosophy of All Very Goods is that representation matters.

The designing philosophy starts from a very simple prompt—if there existed an alternate world where the celebration and appreciation of diverse histories and cultures are part of everyday life, what products might exist there? By visualizing such products, All Very Goods creates them in this world. The hope is that this method will bring about more ideal goodness in this reality.

All Very Goods’ designs use history, illustrations, graphic design, textile patterns; and symbols from Africa, Asia and Europe to create products that are visual metaphors for a shared history and present experience.

By creating products for anyone to enjoy, All Very Goods creates conversational products that can be shared and cherished from one person to the next.
