Category: Fashion Created on Saturday, 20 August 2011 09:12

Trinidadian born, Liseli Fitzpatrick, is the creator/designer of Natural Ink Clothing, and what an enchanting soul and spirit this young woman radiates!

Her 'coolbrand' was first set up on March 3rd, 2006, as an "artistic expression grounded in the spiritual and natural light of love, wisdom, optimism, truth, and our evolutionary existence. "

Liseli says that her drive to design clothing impressed with conscious messages stems from a “deep-rooted passion for spirituality, and a genuine love for humanity."

The name Liseli means Divine and Guiding Light, and it is with heartfelt meaning she embraces and channels her mantra through her designs.  She greets all those who are blessed to come across her path with the expression "Love & Light". These two words Liseli uses with soul inspiring meaning and effect. When she reaches out to you in this way, it touches, jolts and awakens ones consciousness.

The medium she embraces to promote her brand are a joy to experience. A bohemian, loving vibe, of various genres of music and art. Liseli is the real deal; a spiritually grounded and free-spirited individual - if ever I came across one. Through her designs, it is evident that she is clearly conscious  and aware of her roots and culture and that is indeed refreshing and unique in this industry

Liseli describes wearing Natty Ink Clothing as, "more than a fashion statement – it is a commitment to ourselves…it is an inward experience and outward expression…it is real! Everything is made in love and comes from a space of positivity – inspired by light, and designed for Life." Liseli prints each piece individually by hand over the weekends, late at night till right before the sun comes up, as she is also currently doing an M.A. at Ohio State University, while teaching undergraduate students. Her passion and dedication is truly inspiring.

The Natural Ink Clothing website is fully transactional, and products are more than affordable. Join this movement & "love outside the box!"
