About Victoria
I, Victoria Carlos, started creating Ankara baby bibs, when my husband, Pedro Carlos, expressed a desire for our one-year-old son to wear African clothes to church. I love my custom-made Ankara garments, but being the budget babe I am could not justify paying a heavy price for an outfit he would only wear once or twice and eventually grow out of. I wanted our son, Noah, to showcase his African pride, in a practical way that would last him years. So, I created bibs with timeless Ankara print patterns using an anti-pill fleece so that the garment would be sturdy after many washes and could grow with a child from infant to toddlerhood.
These bibs are made specifically with the African Diaspora in mind. You see, my husband is West African and I am American. After taking multiple ancestry DNA tests, I fell in love with my heritage and grasped at every opportunity to showcase my African Pride.

Osisi, means "tree" in the Igbo (a tribe found in Nigeria) language. That is who this product is for Africans and friends of Africa who want their precious loved ones to showcase their African pride on their chest!
Take comfort in knowing that when you purchase a bib from me, you are purchasing a garment that has been handmade with love, and that you are supporting a women-owned and black-owned small business.
