18 Black-Owned Fashion & Beauty Gift Ideas to Shop This Holiday Season
A rundown of the best gifts to shop for the holiday season, all from luxury Black-owned brands.
In recent years, there's been a shift in shopping behavior. No longer do shoppers solely care about what they are buying, but who they are buying from. In this day and age, a brand is more than its product but takes a stance on a bigger message. With that in mind, supporting Black-owned businesses has come more to the forefront of consumers' minds. Historically having been dismissed and ignored (except during Black History Month), since 2020 there's been clear strides in the fashion industry to do more to support Black-owned brands.
By shopping from Black-owned businesses, you are showing your support for the implementation of diversity and inclusion in fashion. Now that we are in the season of gift-giving, the holidays serve as a perfect time to crank your support up another notch. Since you will be buying new things for your loved ones anyway, then why not make sure that some of those gifts come from a Black-owned brand? To spark some gift idea inspiration, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up a complete Black-owned gift guide for the 2022 holiday season.
