Legacy in Stitches: The Plane

A tribute to freedom, perspective, and rising above fear.

The Plane icon is more than a nod to aviation—it’s a symbol of growth, breakthrough, and facing fears head-on. Inspired by the legendary P-51 Warplanes flown by the Tuskegee Airmen, this design honors the first African American aviators in U.S. military history—men who defied expectations and shattered barriers in the sky. But it’s also personal. For our founder, it represents the journey of overcoming a fear of flying—an experience that mirrors the deeper truth of the brand: when you choose to move beyond fear, your entire world opens up. The Plane reminds us that success requires lift—and sometimes, the first step is simply choosing to take off.

This is just one piece of our legacy.
