Walking through Harlem and finding a mini farm tucked between the blocks—that’s the kind of day that just feels right. 🌱🍅

Big love to everyone who volunteer their time to build these small sanctuaries uptown. It's more than gardens—it’s community.

Limited drop. Mother's Day is May 11th. Don’t sleep.⁠
More accessories coming—but this one won’t wait for you.⁠

Designed in Harlem. Made in India.⁠
Built for everyday flexes and gala nights alike.⁠
Because representing your hood hits different when it’s Harlem.⁠

Artists play an important role in telling stories and preserving culture.

Harlemite artist @afinelynn captures Central Harlem so beautifully with these watercolor prints of streetscapes and iconic places like the now closed St. Nick's Jazz Pub.

We carry a good selection of g

It's our 20th wedding anniversary. Marriage is hard. Raising kids is hard. Running a business in Harlem is hard. Doing all three is crazy .... but incredibly rewarding and without any regrets.

Have any advice for our next 20 years?

Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, one block from NiLu, is so peaceful in the early morning. We enjoy walking in and around the park to clear our heads before we open the shop. Very grateful to have such a beautiful space in our community.

We hit a big phatt wall -- burnt out and unable to keep up the planning, constant posting, creativity, and trying to keep up with everything in our world. So jus

Who can you think of anyone that has similar super powers as Grace Jones? She was a triple threat with strength, beauty, and fearlessness.

A fashion icon, musician, muse, film star, and all-around trendsetter.

Artist Makeba Rainey captured the vibe right here.

Which travel experience connects with you the most? 1, 2 or 3?

No doubt all three places are cool but we all agree there's soo much more to experience domestically and internationally.

We're you headed this year?

We can't think of many city neighborhoods with grand boulevards like Adam Clayton Powell.🤔

Love the triangle building on the left. I think we should shoot all the triangle buildings in Harlem📸

Black art puzzles remain a hot item. We recently restocked Charles White's Mary McLeod Bethund Mural puzzle.
