About Us

About Kinky Nomad

Every piece a mantra. Every design a manifesto.

Kinky Nomad is more than a fashion and décor brand — it is a movement of self-expression, empowerment, and cultural storytelling.
Founded by Ruth Smith, a creative nomad shaped by Trinidad, Canada, and the African continent, the brand celebrates the power of voice, the beauty of identity, and the art of living boldly.

From empowering apparel to statement accessories, from expressive home décor to the Love Africa Collection, every piece is designed to make you feel something — anchored in truth, courage, and unapologetic authenticity.

✨ Our Philosophy

Kinky Nomad exists to remind you that your story is your power.
Every message, every print, every crafted detail is created to inspire confidence, spark inner freedom, and echo the mantra:

“Peace begins where pretence ends.”

We believe style is more than what you wear —
it’s how you show up in the world.

🛍️ What We Create

Bold, empowering slogans for those who speak without saying a word.
Designed to spark dialogue, courage, and presence.

💍 Statement Accessories

Pieces that amplify your energy — from totes to earrings — crafted to stand out with purpose.

🏡 KN@Home: Décor & Accents

Home is your sanctuary.

❤️ Love Africa Collection

A celebration of heritage, culture, and the continent that fuels our inspiration.
Vibrant, symbolic, meaningful — designed for those who carry Africa in their spirit.

🌱 Rooted in Purpose

Kinky Nomad is built on the belief that creativity, commerce, and culture can uplift communities.
We champion:

  • Ethical production

  • Empowering narratives

  • Designs that honour identity without stereotypes

  • Celebrating lived experiences across continents

We honour the places that shaped us — Trinidad, Canada, Ghana, and beyond — blending global influences with intentional craftsmanship.

🎨 Designed to Inspire. Created to Empower.

Whether you’re wearing a statement hoodie, decorating your home, or gifting a piece of your story, Kinky Nomad invites you to express your truth with elegance and boldness.

Because your life is the manifesto.
And your voice deserves to be seen.
