Few brands stand out for their commitment to quality, sustainability, and timeless design, like 11 Threads Roma. At the helm is founder Shane Ramnarine, who is passionate about combining Italian craftsmanship with his Caribbean roots. The combination creates modern yet versatile styles that have made 11 Threads exciting to watch in 2025. We met Shane to get a preview of his Spring 2025 collection, “Passion,” dedicated to making women feel feminine and empowered in his pieces.
Shane designed carnival costumes for several years in his home country of Trinidad. That is until he moved to Miami four years ago and changed his design focus. Since relocating to Miami, Shane transitioned to designing swimwear and luxury fashion pieces. Shane made his first debut at NYFW this September with his bold and innovative collection.

What inspired this collection, and do you have any particularly special pieces to you?
Drawing from the rich tapestry of Italian architecture, coastal beauty, and vibrant colors, my latest collection, “Passion,” exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. Infused with the carefree spirit of the Caribbean and its laid-back lifestyle, each piece embodies an island vibe that speaks to effortless style and relaxation. Within “Passion,” there are standout pieces close to my heart. The “desire” watercolor print skirt, paired with a chic white shirt, captures my aesthetic perfectly with its feminine, structured silhouette that exudes romance—an essence at the core of my brand. Additionally, the “Mania” jacket and pantsuit stand out for their vibrant colors and classic, chic silhouette, reminiscent of the elegance and sophistication synonymous with Italian fashion. “Passion” is more than just a collection; it’s a reflection of my inspirations, creativity, and dedication to creating pieces that speak to the soul of modern elegance.
Will you continue to have a focus on swimwear?
Absolutely, designing swimwear was my natural starting point due to my rich background in carnival designing in Trinidad and Tobago. Although it will remain a signature part of my brand, my true passion lies in resort wear and high fashion.
Transitioning the focus towards these areas is essential for the evolution of my company, as it allows me to express my unique perspective and voice through the designs. Embracing resort wear and high fashion not only aligns with my vision but also propels the brand forward in a direction that reflects my creative essence and artistic vision. Through this strategic shift in focus, I aim to bring a fresh and innovative touch to each creation, setting the stage for new and exciting ventures while staying true to the brand’s core identity.
What’s in store for 2025?
In 2025, we are gearing up for an exciting journey ahead, marked by strategic growth and innovation. The launch of our showroom in New York symbolizes a significant milestone for us, serving as a pivotal hub for Stylists, Buyers, and Creators to interact with our diverse range of pieces. As we set our sights on the upcoming year, I am eager to expand and elevate this concept further by nurturing collaborative collections and enhancing the existing pieces to ensure that the 11 threads woman exudes versatility and sophistication, effortlessly mixing and matching to curate a wardrobe that is chic, elegant, and powerful.
In 2025, the brand is embarking on an exhilarating journey as it has strategically partnered with industry leaders in NYC and Italy, setting the stage for an exciting year ahead. These collaborations are not just mere alliances but key stepping stones for the brand’s expansion and growth. By deepening these connections, the brand is poised to gain a broader insight into the dynamic landscapes of both the US and European markets, allowing for innovative approaches and exciting opportunities to unfold. This strategic move is a bold testament to the brand’s commitment to reaching new horizons and solidifying its presence on the global stage.

Embracing the essence of progress, 2025 will see our focus on bolstering business-to-customer strategies to fortify the brand’s foundation through targeted marketing approaches.

Where can our US and European readers shop the new collection?
American and European readers can easily shop the new collection at our main sales channel, which is our website and Instagram. As an emerging brand, our primary focus currently lies in offering pre-orders of pieces from my Spring-Summer 2025 Passion Collection. Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited to launch direct sales to customers, a project that is well underway. However, to maintain our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction without overextending ourselves, pre-orders remain our current approach. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and evolve to better serve our valued customers.
