Driven by a passion to create fashion that reflects Jamaica’s cultural identity, Nzinga Myton has spent more than two decades working towards a singular goal: a textile that tells the nation’s story to the world.

Myton, who has spent years advancing fashion, saw her early swimwear collection pave the way for the creation of Xaymaca Textile, positioned as Jamaica’s first national cultural fabric, and is now seeing that vision take shape.

Such is her belief in the Xaymaca Textile, which she said captures the depth of Jamaica’s cultural identity, including its symbols, history and people, in a fabric that reflects the true value of a nation. She is now seeking endorsement from the Ministry of Culture and, by extension, the Government.
