Judge Toni Terrett has officially opened Sojoz Treasures in Vicksburg, bringing a unique shopping experience to the community that celebrates fashion, culture and lifestyle.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Thursday with several elected officials in attendance, including Kelie Barfield, Mayor Willis Thompson, Alderwoman Vickie Bailey, Alderman T.J. Mayfield and Tax Collector Amanda Battle.

During the ceremony, Terrett explained that Sojoz Treasures represents much more than a traditional boutique.

“It’s not just a boutique, it’s more of a cultural emerging lifestyle brand,” Terrett said.

Sojoz Treasures offers a variety of clothing, jewelry, accessories, home decor and other merchandise inspired by African culture. The boutique features a large selection of Ghanaian-inspired items, along with merchandise from Nigeria, Kenya and Mali.

In November, Sojoz will also host a fashion parade at the mall, giving the community another opportunity to experience the brand’s creativity and cultural influence.

Sojoz Treasures is located at 1121 Farmer St. in Vicksburg. Customers can also visit the boutique’s website to explore its apparel and merchandise.
