Rebuilt: 876 Worldwide is Back.

Since December, the lights have been off at 876 Worldwide.

Hurricane Melissa didn’t just knock us down; it tried to wipe us out. If you weren't here you saw the headlines. For those of us here, especially across the western parishes, we saw our infrastructure crumble, our local supply chains vanish, and our neighbors lose everything.

Life was the buzzing of chainsaws and fighting for shingles. MegaMart closed down, tomatoes were as expensive as meat. Even now whole business plazas have no roof and people are still talking about losses in the millions and waiting on insurance money.

 

We didn't have millions to lose but we lost almost everything anyway. We got evicted. Small suppliers closed, Big suppliers didn't have much that wasn't completely ruined by water and mud, so contracts tightened up and we got pushed out. We were already fighting to ship your Jamaica-wear fast enough for a decent cost. Hell, we still can't post packages to the U.S.

Tourism is in shambles. But it was never about tourism for us. It's about taking Jamaica to the world. Jamaica's building back better and so are we.

We're re-opening shipment to the US and other territories in phases. Phase One of the Revived Catalog is live now. Explore the first wave of the rebuild.
