The Althea Gibson Tennis Club Bundle

*This items ships out within 1 week of purchase *

A bundle created to celebrate the life of the resilient Althea Gibson. This bundle includes the Althea tee and sweatshirt, as well as an an exclusive tote bag with a surprise design on it, created to honor Althea and her accomplishments.

I cannot imagine a world without the powerhouses that are Venus and Serena. However, there would be no them had there not been an Althea Gibson. Althea was the first African American tennis player to win the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. open singles championships!! She developed a love for tennis when the game was barely open to African American players, yet she found her seat at the table and dominated the game. 

 

Althea was warrior who played the game with guts and heart. I wanted to create something that honored her as the REVOLUTIONARY she was, so the Althea Gibson Tennis Club bundle was inspired by the idea that Althea's success and championships are proof that for all the doors that were closed on her, she came back and brought the building!

 

I hope her story inspires you to never give up.
