The Mambacita apparel line honoring Vanessa and Kobe Bryant’s late daughter Gianna went on sale on Saturday, May 1st. CNN Business reports that the clothing sold out within a few hours.
“Gianna was kind, energetic, a leader, and had so much MAMBACITA swag,” Vanessa Bryant shared on her Instagram page. “When I thought about who would help me capture her laid back yet girly-edge, I thought of female-owned @DANNIJO. Two fun-loving sisters running a successful clothing line, they jumped on the opportunity to celebrate Gigi’s birthday with us, completely pro-bono.”

May 1st would have been Gianna’s 15th birthday.
The teen basketball star and NBA Champion Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020. Seven other people were also killed.
Vanesa Bryant wanted to pay tribute to her daughter through the launch of a clothing line. On Friday, she released a preview of the line.
Mambacita was the name given to Gianna when she was on the basketball court. It’s derived from her father Kobe Bryant’s nickname “Black Mamba.”
The limited-edition Mambacita tie-dye clothing line came in adult and children’s sizes. Adult sweat sets were priced at $332 and children’s sizes were available for $224. Hoodies were sold for $224 (adults) and $124 (kids). Face masks were sold for $24.
By early afternoon on Saturday, all clothing line items were sold out. Fans of all ages were online trying to grab their items in memory of Gianna.
