Still I Rise Hoodie
Saved from landfill. Styled by Birdsong.
This high quality (new) oversized soft-fleece hoodie has been beautifully embroidered by Mona at Bow Sewing Centre in East London, with our classic Still I Rise slogan.
Rooted in Black feminist resistance, the phrase has travelled from poetry readings to protest placards and Birdsong slogan drops – always as a reminder that oppression is real, but so is our power to rise above it together.
It's choosing to see deadstock as opportunity, waste as raw material, and small actions as the building blocks of something bigger. Every great transformation begins with someone believing it's possible, even when the odds say otherwise.
This is the final part of our rescued-from-landfill micro-drop: just 30 hoodies total across three designs, made in Spring 2026 when warm layers matter most. Each piece is numbered; one-of-a-kind.
