ABOUT BERIQISU

Pronounced: “Berry-Key-Sue”

BERIQISU is the namesake label of designer Belkis Phelps—a woman whose life and craft are shaped by three worlds: Boston, where she was raised; Ghana, where her heritage lives; and New York City, where she honed her voice as a designer.

What began as a deeply personal exploration of culture and identity has grown into a fashion house rooted in intention, craftsmanship, and global consciousness. At the heart of BERIQISU is a belief that clothing can connect generations, communities, and continents. Every piece tells a story—one of legacy, of strength, and of beauty.

Belkis brings decades of experience designing for houses such as Ralph Lauren, Burberry, and Victoria’s Secret, yet her work at BERIQISU is entirely her own. It’s where vintage construction meets bold African textiles, and where tailored silhouettes are softened by human touch.

Each garment is designed with purpose and precision—cut to move with the body, made to last, and crafted in celebration of individuality.

BRAND ETHOS

We design slowly. We source responsibly. We tell stories worth wearing.

OUR COMMITMENT

BERIQISU is built on values of sustainability, equity, and cultural preservation. All textiles are ethically sourced from fabric houses across the region, reducing waste and supporting local economies. We produce in small batches to ensure quality, minimize excess, and honor the people behind every garment.

A portion of each purchase supports educational and vocational programs for girls and young women, making empowerment an integral part of our supply chain — from sourcing to final stitch.
