Rooted in the Kongo, Reimagined in Haiti
The “Paquet Kongo” traces its lineage to the Kongo Kingdom of Central Africa, where sacred bundles known as nkisi were created to house spiritual forces and protect communities. As these traditions crossed the Atlantic through the trauma of enslavement, they transformed—becoming paquet kongo in Haiti, sacred objects crafted by Vodou priests and priestesses to invoke protection, healing, and ancestral power.
Wrapped in layers of cloth, herbs, feathers, and symbolic elements, each bundle is carefully constructed—often tied seven or nine times, echoing the umbilical cord that connects us to the divine. These objects are not only spiritual tools but also acts of cultural resistance, preserving African cosmologies in the face of colonial erasure.Beneath the folds of silk and thread lies a secret language—the whispered prayers of ancestors, the steady breath of the sacred. Paquet Kongo is not a collection. It is a calling.
Born from the ancestral ground of Haitian Vodou, these sacred bundles hold more than adornment. They hold memory. They hold intention. Each knot, each symbol, each textured layer speaks to a lineage of protection, healing, and unseen power carried through time.
In reimagining Paquet Kongo, we offer you a portal:
– To honor spirits with grace
– To carry beauty that shields as it shines
– To stand as living altars draped in strength
In this collection, we honor that journey.
We do not replicate—we remember.
We do not appropriate—we awaken.
Crafted with reverence, these pieces are an invocation—wrapped in vèvè, stitched in silence, pulsing with presence. They are reminders that what protects us can also be exquisitely beautiful.
Welcome to Paquet Kongo.
Enter with heart. Leave with spirit.
