Ethical Black-Owned Brands

19th June 2020

Sustainable Black-Owned Clothes Brands

Aliya Wanek

Aliya is the owner of this beautiful shop with classy, loose-fitting clothes. You can see from the images that they are quality clothing sewn with the intention of lasting for a long time. The materials are a mixture of sustainable materials in the likes of hemp and organic cotton. A lot of the pieces (if not all) are handmade and locally dyed in the Bay Area, California.

 

Hope for Flowers

Tracy Reese uses sustainable materials like Tencel and organic cotton in her collections to create ultra chic and feminine pieces. She strives to only work with factories that pay their workers a decent wage and is an advocate of good quality of life for all. 

Beads by Aree

This shop has some cute tops made of vintage fabrics, but the artistic talent that went in the handmade jewellery is very impressive. Finding jewellery pieces that tell a story is rare, and this is exactly what designer Areeayl Goodwin has achieved with Beads by Aree.

Lila Bare

Founded by Kenyan-born designer Ria Ana Sejpal, Lila Bare is a shop full of romantic pieces that are sustainably sourced and made. With a real focus on handcraft products and recycled materials, the brand is a successful marriage of fashion creativity and sustainability.

Studio 189

Studio 189 is an all-round great brand. They use natural dyes and certified organic cotton when they can, and their products are ethically made in Ghana. Studio 189 is not only a social enterprise co-founded by Rosario Dawson and Abrima Erwiah, it also won the CFDA Lexus Fashion Initiative for Sustainability.

Fenoel

Handprinted and Handcrafted in New York, these artistic pieces are the work of Fe Noel. A lot of her garments are made of viscose and then handprinted on which is super eco-friendly. 

JIBRI

Jasmine Elder is the designer behind plus-size contemporary women’s label, JIBRI. She is dedicated to creating garments for the fashion-conscious curvy woman (size 10-28). Most (if not all) of the clothing pieces are beautifully handcrafted in Atlanta. 

Label by Three

Made from deadstock fabrics and sustainable maerials like linen, all pieces from Label by Three are handmade in Arizona. Another lovely brand to support!

Pashko

Pashko is a black-owned brand that is trying to give back to the planet. They also ensure fair labour by being part of the Fair Labour Association. Their clothing is made from reclaimed fabrics and is a must-have if your wardrobe is lacking in some good basics. 

Kitty Ferreira

Designed, sourced and manufactured in the UK, Kitty Ferreira is keeping things local and has been featured by Centre for Sustainable Fashion and Royal College of Arts (SustainRCA). While the collection is small, it is certainly not lacking in creativity!
