One look at Felisha Noel’s (Fe Noel) designs – the vibrant colors, rich textures – and you know that her work is influenced heavily by her Caribbean heritage. There is no doubt. So it is only fitting that the Grenadian designer should open her first brick and mortar in Brooklyn, her hometown, aptly named Fe Noel Little Caribbean. It’s a celebration of her label’s 10th anniversary.
The store opened on June 15 at 1133 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.

Fe Noel is a womenswear designer from Brooklyn, NY with a passion for travel, a love of vibrant colors, and a penchant for bold prints. She entered the industry at 19, opening a brick and mortar boutique for vintage lovers and trendsetters in Brooklyn. That boutique served as a catalyst for today’s namesake clothing and lifestyle womenswear brand ‘Fe Noel’ and further stimulated her desire to help women embrace their femininity.
Fe is heavily influenced by her Caribbean heritage and large, close-knit family. She especially holds her mother and grandmother in high regard, crediting them for showing what drive, determination and humble hearts will earn you. Aside from designing, she enjoys helping other young women start their own businesses, which she is able to accomplish through the Fe Noel Foundation, a program for young girls who are passionate about entrepreneurship.
