Kingdom of Mel is based out of New York City and is owned by Tiffany Hill. Mel is short for melanin so you already know that this brand is African-inspired. Hill has always been fascinated with Kente cloth, ancient Egypt and Victorian era. She brings a combination of art and fashion to the Kingdom of Mel line.

The pieces that stand out are the waterproof duffle bags that display the terms "King" or "Queen" and are adorned with an outline of Africa on the end. You can also get African-inspired sneakers, watches and bracelets from this creative entrepreneur!
