In the spirit of Valentine's Day and celebrating the beauty of shared dreams, I’m thrilled to introduce my latest creation in collaboration with my wife - the "FOR THE LOVERS" jacket. This jacket narrates a love story — ours.

Nine years ago, our paths crossed through the shared language of art. In 2015, I had the privilege of asking Afritina (@afritina) to be my girlfriend the same night as my first art exhibition. Our bond deepened through countless artistic endeavors, leading to me asking her to be my wife at an art show we curated together. You can watch the full proposal below.

Today, we stand as partners not only in life but in our creative pursuits, living the dreams we whispered to each other nine years ago over coffee. From running COKER STUDIO, to owning our photography studio and exploring various artistic ventures, our journey is a testament to the power of shared vision and passion.

One of the things Afritina and I always say is "Till Death Do Us Art" - a pledge to remain devoted to each other and our creative expressions till the end. It's this sentiment that inspired the creation of the "FOR THE LOVERS" jacket. This piece is more than fashion; it's a symbol of love's endurance and the art that love can inspire.

This Valentine's Day, we invite you to celebrate love in all its forms with this jacket. Crafted with care, passion, and a story woven into every thread, this jacket is for anyone who believes in love, cherishes artistic expression, and embraces the journey of building a shared life.

Your Part in Our Story:

We believe that every love story is unique and deserves to be celebrated. We're honored to share a piece of ours with you through this jacket. Whether you're an artist, a dreamer, or simply someone who loves love, "FOR THE LOVERS" is a testament to the beauty of coming together, creating together, and loving without limits.

As we continue to navigate this beautiful journey of art and love, we're reminded of the power of partnership and the incredible things that can be achieved when hearts and hands work together. We hope that this jacket finds a special place in your story, just as you have in ours.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here's to love, art, and the endless possibilities they bring.

Warmly,

Temi & Afritina Coker
