CRWNHVY: Fashionable Energy

Energy is everything. If you’ve been following CrownHeavy LC since our inception in 2015, you'll see growth. Not only in variety, but in quality. At first, we were trying to make a fashion splash, but we’ve now switched our attention to energy. We selling vibes. We didn’t want to just sell T-shirt’s with a cool design or pretty bracelets with zirconium studded crowns; too many have caught on to that play. We had to head back to the drawing board and draw up new plays.


We decided to put the brand on various other garments (socks, shoes) to add another layer. The products needed to stand out a bit. We traded the nickel crowns for stainless steel laser etched charms with the infamous CRWNHVY logo. We got rid of the dyed and painted beads and copped Genuine AAA grade gemstone beads. Our name has weight and the difference in quality tipped the scales..


One of our favorite pieces to makes is the Black Onyx bracelets. Black Onyx is a soothing stone, good for wearing during times of emotional turmoil. It helps to release negativity, as well as guard the wearer from the 'evil eye'. It aids in releasing negative emotions (sorrow, grief) and in return brings good fortune. Onyx is also known to help one recognize their personal strength which helps in eliminating anxiety and boosts the wearers' confidence.


Didn't we say we were blessing the masses with vibes?! Another product we plan to roll out later in 2019 is our Orgonite Pyramids. You can see these pyramids in almost all the promotional images for our bracelets. The pyramids are not only amazing props for our bracelets, but they also help convert negative energy into positive. These pyramids contain various metals and natural crystals that are strengthened and condensed using resin.


These pyramids can be placed near your WiFi router, kept on your night stand as a mount for your cell phone or even kept under the bed to help with their (clears throat) “adult activities” (wink wink). I know a lot of ganja man who keep a few pyramids strategically placed in their grow rooms to help their plants grow in a cleansed environment. We are in the business of selling energy and we made it fashionable.


Crown Heavy is a brand that we plan to take to higher levels. We are constantly researching and developing in order to continue advancing. As we continue to take steps forward, we will branch out into other avenues, but for now, make sure to visit the website www.crownheavylc.com and help support a grassroots movement out of Kingshill, St. Croix.

Holiday Glitz and Glam

I was invited to my very first Corporate Holiday Party for my job, and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to wear. All I knew is that I didn’t want to spend an excessive amount of money.


I remembered I purchased an ASOS jumpsuit that I’ve only worn once. I saw reality star Draya Michele wearing it and thought it was such a cute piece and for $69, it was well worth the price. I bought the jumpsuit in red because 90% of my wardrobe is black (and my sister threatened to kill me if I ordered another black jumpsuit). I tried on the jumpsuit, but something was missing. My mom suggested using a brooch to give it a little bling and make it further festive. However, as I stated above, I did not want to break the bank. I decided to try out JC Penny since there is one not too far from my house and they had SO MANY choices to choose from, AND they were also on sale! I bought my brooch for only $7. And it completed my look for the party!



Check out my previous holiday look with easy go-to holiday hair:

Heavy is the Head...


I started Crown Heavy LC about a year and a half ago. I was working for Comcast at the time. I was a hard worker for the company. I tried to climb the corporate ladder and failed. Even with my Bachelor's degree, no matter how many ideas my non-educated white supervisor stole from me, no matter how many times I did the job of others, no matter how many initiatives I took to better the company, I was constantly overlooked at promotion time. It was around this time that I realized that working for somebody else the rest of my life was not a life I wanted to live. It was around this time that I started to open my eyes to racial employment prejudice. It was around this time that I began to really grasp the plight of black people in a corporate setting. It was around this time I started to really take control of my destiny. It was around this time that I began to think of an entity that I would love to pass down to my unborn seed one day. It was around this time that I gave life to Crown Heavy LC.


I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a novice when it comes to fashion. But I've never been told I couldn't dress. I'm 6'4", 200lbs, handsome, 29 years young and I intend to take advantage of my high metabolism. More than that, I'm an ambitious black man with a chip on my shoulder.


I intend to use Crown Heavy as a vessel to further black progress. As a black owned business, I plan to become big enough to put my black ppl into a better position to succeed. I think this past election has proven that the black dollar trumps the black vote (pun intended). I want to set an example with Crown Heavy. I hope I can encourage my melanated people to support other Black owned brands: Negash, Laced Legacy, Dashiki Pride and now Crown Heavy. I hope that we circulate the black dollar throughout the black community. It's going to take a community effort to overcome our economic trials.

Black Dollar > Black Vote

Fashionablly Fabulous kids in Okinawa Japan

From big sun hats, beanies, jellies, sundresses and Nikes, Amerah and Ameenah stay trendy. With the help of Old Navy, Children's Place and Foot Locker the options are endless online but here in Okinawa, Japan options are few. To keep both girls ahead of their peers I shop online. Amerah (the older of the two) is more the sundress, skirt and sandals type, where as Ameenah is a Nike and shorts kind of girl. Most of the time when posting their pictures people tell me they should model kids clothing. Hmmmmm, thinking about it, it's not a bad idea! I also try to dress them age appropriately, because sometimes I see kids in clothes that I would wear! Not Amerah and Ameenah though, they still keep it trendy and fabulous!
