THE LABEL

Tabatap

is Afro-Caribbean inspired fashion in its very own style. The label was founded in 2006 by the German-Jamaican fashion designer Tabitha Minott. The name Tabatap is based on the Jamaican proverb "TAP A TAP" (Top of the tops) ... Tab (itha) - A - Tap = TABATAP. Tabatap stands for colorful Afrocentric and Afro-futuristic clothing based on and proud of the designer's origins. The designs are a fusion of African and Caribbean (especially Jamaica), Rasta, Reggae / Dancehall and street style elements. Spirituality, history and art also have a strong influence on fashion and the exploration of the power of the "Divine Feminine" #channelyourinnergoddess.

Tabatap was represented at numerous events, fashion shows, exhibitions, Africa festivals / markets, reggae festivals in the DE area. The creation of artist outfits for appearances and photo shoots and styling for a video shoot is also part of the report. Tabatap is an international, afro-diasporic brand with worldwide customers in Europe, USA, Jamaica, Asia around the world.

Tabatap's goal is to empower with fashion and art in an afrocentric way.

We thank you for all the support over the years !!
