Today I wanted to get back to talking about a favorite topic of mine, sustainable fashion. I thought I’d share a list of some Black-owned businesses I’m loving, a few of which I’ve just learned about recently from all of the resources being shared on Instagram lately. So if you’re looking for a sustainable swimsuit, capsule wardrobe piece or everyday handbag then check out the 10 brands below and support Black businesses in the process.
Jade Swim
Effortless, minimal designs and made from sustainable materials in LA. What more could you want?
Brother Vellies
A designer shoe brand by Aurora James, who recently launched the 15% Pledge, a call for major retailers to pledge 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses.
Two Days Off
A minimal capsule wardrobe collection, sustainably-made in LA by one of my favorite bloggers, Gina Stovall.
AAKS
A Ghanian brand that makes colorful and intricately woven handbags, my favorite being the adorable Baw Pot Bag.
