We always advocate spending your money wisely, which is why it’s important to take a moment to consider who your purchase will benefit before you hit that “confirm order” button on any checkout. Knowing where your valued pounds are going will not only help you to shop more mindfully, but also can create an incredible ripple effect for the better.
Knowing that it’s vital that we celebrate and support the Black community in the UK, we’ve searched the country for both the up-and-coming and established designers and names across fashion and beauty that are well worth adding to your wardrobe and beauty stash. Whilst we’re not here to give you a history lesson (although, you can donate and support The Black Curriculum, which addresses the lack of Black British history in the UK curriculum), we can point you towards the best Black-owned British fashion and beauty brands, of which there are an impressive number.
Black History Month is an excellent time to champion the brilliant Black-owned brands in our country, but it shouldn’t be the only time we pay attention to our homegrown talent. So, if you’re looking to get ahead of the crowd and make an informed decision as to where your money really goes, keep scrolling to see our list of the brands to buy from now and bookmark for future shopping moments.
