BASSETERRE — In a powerful display of Caribbean togetherness, Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community arrived on the shores of Nevis on Thursday February 26, 2026, wearing custom-designed shirts created by a renowned local designer—a striking visual testament to the solidarity and shared purpose at the heart of the 50th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM.
The shirts, specially commissioned for the occasion, were designed by Judith Rawlins-Paul, the creative force behind the celebrated Saint Kitts and Nevis-based brand Brown Sugar. Each garment features Mrs Rawlins-Paul’s signature patchwork technique—a distinctive collage of fabric pieces running from shoulder to hem along the left side of the shirt. The design represented not only the artist’s hallmark style but also a deeper narrative of bringing together diverse threads to create something stronger and more beautiful.
