Black Owned Brands that Elevate Your Accessories
We’re in love with the bags from Brandon Blackwood, the sunglasses from Coco and Breezy, and the earrings from BR Design Co.
While we often have constraints to the clothes we can wear (lack of inclusive sizing, workplace requirements, weather), accessories give us the opportunity to fully express our personalities and creativity.
Accessories can also be paired with multiple occasions and outfits, making the price-per-wear worth the investment.
We’re obsessed with the bold silhouettes, patterns, textures, and of course, colors of the pieces in these collections. Whether you are an accessory connoisseur or are just getting started, these wearable pieces of art can be the final touch that makes your outfits truly memorable.
We’ve made it easy to find your perfect investment pieces from each brand, by organizing their collections by color palette, so you know they will flatter your features.
Meet the brands.
Brandon Blackwood is a Brooklyn native, who became well known for his “end systemic racism” tote bag that he designed in the midst of the pandemic. His online presence and transparency, technical and artistic skills have attracted a huge following, and is helping to shape and redefine how our society sees and accepts luxury. In his collection, you can expect bold color combinations, neutrals, fun textures and materials, as well as classic and unconventional silhouettes.
Coco and Breezy is a woman-owned eyewear business founded by Minnesota-born twin designers Corianna and Brianna Dotson in 2009. After experiencing a childhood where they were often bullied, they began using sunglasses to hide. Yet, those same sunglasses served as a tool to help them find themselves. Fast forward to now, the sisters have used their past experiences to propel a product and message that will “enhance the narrative for women of color.” The duo has made it clear that their designs are all unisex, and that they “…don’t design for a specific gender, we design for a personality.” They have fused their passion for design, self-confidence, and optical health to provide an experience of attainable luxury.
BR Design Co. is another beautiful sister collaboration created by Carlene Browner and Cassandra Browner Richardson. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, the sisters use their skills and nearly three decades of family history with clay jewelry to create fun, colorful, and cheerful statement earrings. One sister prefers neutrals, while the other is all about COLOR. They have fused their two styles to create a spectrum of earrings that vary in styles and color. There’s something for everyone, trust us!
