1. Brandon Blackwood — a luxury brand that sells handmade handbags, clothing, and shoes. Founded by Brandon Blackwood in 2015, this brand started from an idea and has grown to become a preferred brand among celebrities like Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Quinta Brunson, Serena Williams, and many more.
2. The Book'd Store, a small business owned by two Black women who found a need to create planners that encourage personal development, productivity, and self-care. Each deluxe planner includes a sheet of stickers, a gorgeous pen, and a magnetic bookmark.
3. Gogo Lush sells expensive-looking jewelry at affordable prices. This brand also produces customizable gold wire name necklaces. I personally enjoy watching TikToks of the owner creating custom orders with unique names, words, and numbers.
4. Pat McGrath Labs — founded by one of the most influential makeup artists — the one and only, Pat McGrath. This company sells eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, and more. This brand dominates the makeup industry, as each new product release quickly becomes an absolute must-have.
5. Anima Iris was founded by Wilglory Tanjong in 2020. Every piece in the Anima Iris collection is carefully handcrafted by seasoned professionals in Dakar, Senegal. The leather in each bag is hand-selected from a tannery in Italy. There's no doubt that the quality of these gorgeous purses matches the price!
6. Melanin Haircare is a family-owned natural hair care brand. They offer shampoos, conditioners, oils, and creams to help keep your hair and scalp thriving!
