Kin Apparel
KIN Apparel is a Black woman-owned clothing brand that merges fashion and hair care through thoughtfully designed apparel that protects all hair types. Founder Philomina Kane’s inspiration began at Princeton University, where stress-related hair loss led her to cut off her hair and begin a healthy hair journey. As it grew back, she struggled to find hoodies and hats that both accommodated and protected her natural hair, so she created KIN.
Featured on Shark Tank, Forbes 30 Under 30, Chase billboards, and more, KIN specializes in satin-lined hoodies, jumpsuits, hats, and accessories that help reduce breakage, frizz, and moisture loss while offering everyday comfort and style. The soft, protective fabric also benefits individuals experiencing hair loss, as well as people with sensory sensitivities. With inclusive sizing for different hair textures, styles, and head sizes, KIN creates functional, stylish pieces that help people feel seen, comfortable, and represented.
