Lost Boys Jacket
Crafted from medium-heavy cotton with embroidered artwork, The Lost Boys Jacket is a tribute to resilience and determination. Inspired by the harrowing journey of over 20,000 boys of the Nuer and Dinka ethnic groups, this jacket commemorates the "Lost Boys" who were displaced or orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War from 1983–2005.
These young boys, aged 7 to 17, embarked on a perilous journey spanning thousands of miles on foot, fleeing the violence that ravaged their homes in southern Sudan. Enduring starvation, disease, and attacks from wild animals and hostile forces, their journey became a testament to their strength and courage.
Many of these boys were also forced into the war, given guns at ages as young as 12 or 13, and compelled to fight. Those who managed to escape found refuge in camps in Ethiopia and Kenya before being resettled in countries like the United States. Their story is one of immense hardship and survival, symbolizing the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
The Lost Boys Jacket serves as a reminder of the horrors of war and the enduring hope and courage required to rebuild lives and communities. Embrace this symbol of resilience and wear it with pride.
