22 Black-Owned Businesses To Support Now
I recently discovered a lot of incredible black-owned businesses to support now. There’s so many good ones out there! If I’m going to shop, might as well support a black-owned business. To my surprise, they’re businesses I already loved and have supported and there’s some that are new to me and totally fit my style. As I mentioned before when I shared my thoughts, this experience has been eye-opening even though I’m also a minority. The thing is, a lot of minorities experience racism and the black lives matter movement has gotten a lot of people to realize that racism is something minorities experience in their daily lives. And we need to put an end to this.
If you missed my previous posts, I also share organizations to support and books written by black authors. I’ve heard amazing feedback on Instagram about my post on 12 books by black authors.
22 Black-Owned Businesses To Support
Most of these businesses are centered around fashion. However, there are a few really good home decor businesses too. I have already made some purchases! I can’t wait for them to arrive!
1 Briogeo
This is the first safe beauty hair product brand I’ve ever tried. Aside from Virtue Labs, I’m also a fan of Briogeo. However, I’ve only tried their leave-in conditioning spray and heat protectant creme, but they’re amazing! They’re pretty much available in any major retailer.
2 Clare Paint
I discovered Clare Paint about a year and a half ago. They are a direct to consumer paint company. Let me tell you, their paint colors are beautiful!
3 Hope for Flowers
Their clothes are gorgeous! They’re ethically sourced and sustainable. Hope for Flowers is designed for women who are inspired by beauty and desire to use their power for change. I have my eye on this jumpsuit, puff sleeve jacket, and trousers.
4 Lemlem
I’ve loved Lemlem’s clothes for a long time. I initally discovered them through Shopbop. Their swimsuit collection and dresses are the cutest!
5 AAKS
AAKS Raffia bags are GORGEOUS!! I’m having a hard time picking which ones I love and want to buy!
6 Jade Swim
They are a gorgeous swimwear company. Love their one-pieces! Like how cute is this one-piece with a side bow detail?!
7 Folklore
It’s a New-York based company that exclusively shares styles from Africa. There’s a mixture of women’s clothes, men’s clothes, and accessories.
8 OMA
Wow their jewelry pieces are GORGEOUS!! They’re simple, minimalist, yet still make a statement. They also have the cutest bodysuit and I just bought one!
9 Estelle Colored Glass
Omg their hand-blown glasses are GORGEOUS! We are in the processing of updating some of our dinnerware, and I think I need their glasses!
10 Jungalow
This is a home goods store and they have the cutest home decor. Their decor style is boho. So if you are into that, then you’ll love Jungalow’s pieces.
11 Agnes Baddoo
All super chic leather bags and belts. Most of their leather bags are tote style, but my are they beautiful!
12 Madame de la Maison
If you love all things Parisian and vintage, then this business will make you happy. They specialize in unique tablescapes inspired by European and vintage style. You can rent all these pieces. I definitely want to use their service when I host a party!
13 SIKA
Their dresses could not be more me. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE DRESS! Their design is inspired by the diverse culture of Ghana, West Africa. Seriously so beautiful!
14 Shop A.Au
Another beautiful fashion brand inspired by Ghana. Their dresses are stunning!
15 Bole Road Textiles
Here is another home decor brand. I really love their modern style textiles!
16 Nomadic Citizen
If you love straw and woven bags, then you will love Nomadic Citizen. I know I’m sucker for woven bags, especially during the summertime!
17 Indego Africa
This is another home decor brand. They have the sweetest collection of straw and woven bags and they are also made for little girls too! So cute!
18 B.FREEDOM
This brand’s style is minimalist yet chic and comfortable. I love how everything is flowy or wide-leg. So right up my alley! I’m obsessed with their jumpsuits and co-ords!
19 Tree Fairfax
They specialize in leather handbags. They’re beautiful and handmade. They range from wristlets to crossbody bags to tote bags.
20 Greer Chicago
This place has a special place in my heart because I’ve been a long time customer of theirs. They specialize in greeting cards and stationary. And every time I walk into their store, I just want everything! So if you are in Chicago, definitely stop by! I’m not 100% sure but I think I saw someone say they have a NYC store too.
21 Aliya Wanek
Another fashion brand that is SO ME! I’m obsessed with every piece!
22 The Tiny Tassel
How cute is this store?! Everything is so vibrant, colorful, and cute! Almost everything is affordable too!
Which one of these black-owned businesses do you love the best or will you shop at? Do you have any recommendations that I can check out?
