Return to Bloom: Diaspora Roots Edition | 100% Silk Twill Scarf/Shawl/Hijab

Celebrate heritage, healing, and high fashion with BOLD Swim’s Diaspora Roots Scarf—a 35" x 35" silk twill statement piece designed for global citizens and cultural storytellers. This luxury accessory debuted at Ghana Fashion Week and anchors the Black Star Experience, blending Pan-African symbolism with wearable art.

Central Black Star with Roots At the heart lies Ghana’s iconic Black Star—symbol of independence and Pan-African unity. Here, it’s dynamic: roots extend downward, representing generational strength, fertility, and the enduring legacy of the diaspora. Surrounding stars at the edges honor the people—each one a bearer of light, story, and return.

Red Hibiscus Blooms In each corner, vibrant hibiscus flowers bloom boldly. In Ghanaian culture, hibiscus is medicinal, spiritual, and resilient—used in sobolo tea, rituals, and everyday life. It symbolizes the diaspora’s ability to heal, thrive, and bloom again.

Sankofa Symbols (Adinkra-Inspired) Positioned beside the Black Star, these symbols represent safety, love, and community—emotional anchors that connect wearers across time and space.

Cowrie Shells Woven into the design, cowrie shells evoke wealth, femininity, and spiritual protection.

Sankofa Border/Symbol The scarf’s border features l—a call to return to your roots to move forward.

Black stars in each corner serve as guardians, anchoring the wearer in strength, solidarity, and ancestral protection
