PEACE FOR A PIECE

It begins with a cut, a choice, and a body in recovery. A Black woman, a wig, and the moments no one prepares you for: church sweats, beach wind, mirrors that ask hard questions.

THE SHORE WE CAME FROM

Founded in 2018 by Afro-Caribbean-American designer and engineer Jude Caze, paperxpencil© (PXP) is an apparel brand deeply rooted in honoring historically Black beach communities. Viewing these spaces not merely as vacation spots but as vital sanctuaries of survival, legacy, and peace. PXP champions a "beach state of mind", finding profound calm and freedom by the ocean , encouraging a return to inner peace and framing the coast as both a collective historical refuge and a personal retreat for mental clarity.
