THE 1881 Collection

Apparel and accessories that celebrate the culture and Sisterhood of Spelman College.

Why Choose Us?

Welcome to THE 1881 Collection Boutique. THE 1881 Collection is my dream becoming a reality where my love for Spelman is showcased in paraphernalia for my beloved Alma Mater, founded in 1881. It is my desire that our boutique merchandise allows you to showcase your love for Spelman, while knowing a portion of the proceeds will support Spelman College. I am committed to giving back to Spelman College because Spelman has so richly given to me.

"The ultimate expression of generosity is not in giving of what you have, but in giving of who you are."

Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole
First female African-American president of Spelman College

Spelman College c/o '99

My name is Dionne Cowan, and I’m a Spelman alumna, class of 1999. I remember the first time I visited 350 Spelman Lane in April of 1995 during the SpelBound weekend. I knew immediately that I was home! I am a sister, daughter, confidante, educational leader, mentor, and coach. I am grateful that you are sharing two of your most valuable resources - your time and your finances - visiting and purchasing products from THE 1881 Collection Boutique. Please share our virtual home with others, and I invite you to come back often for seasonal products that remind us of 350 Spelman Lane and the rich legacy of the sisterhood that we share because of our Spelman connection. Thank you!
