August 28, 2020

Life, Shopping

50 Black-owned kids brands to follow and shop from! ✨  from books and toys to clothes and accessories, and many more — there are so many incredible shops to support! next time you’re looking for a baby shower or birthday or ‘just because’ gift, consider ordering something from these small shops! 💛

earlier this summer, I compiled and shared a list of 25 Black-owned kids brands on Instagram. I wanted to give the list a permanent place here on my blog, plus add to the original list! below, you’ll find 50 Black-owned brands that sell all sorts of kids products, organized by category. I also shared a quick blurb about the shop, plus links to their Instagram and website to start shopping.

don’t forget: “when you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance” 💛

  2. I have been a private nanny for six years. You already know little ones need a lot of things; now multiply that 3x and it seems like I’m always shopping. Now I have a better way to support Black owned Businesses, 365!
    All this experience allowed me to write my first children’s book. The website is in development, but the book is available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobles.
    I would be honored to be featured along with these other amazing businesses

  3. This list is amazing. I’m always looking for black owned businesses to support (Especially when shopping for my daughter)

    I aspire to make this list in the future!

    I started a kids hair bow line http://www.zeanieb.com. The bows are handmade my me and we offer styles in ethnic inspired prints.
