A simple way to support the Black community this month and all year long is to purchase goods from Black influencers, designers, and creatives. If you're not sure where to start, Amazon launched a storefront of Black-owned businesses that makes it easy to find fashion, beauty, and home products from minority-led brands.
The fashion section includes customer-loved clothing, shoes, and accessories, such as Oprah's favorite fuzzy slippers, Rihanna's sexy Savage X Fenty lingerie, and Rosario Dawson's African-inspired clothing from her fashion label Studio 189. Below, we rounded up 10 Black-owned fashion brands you can shop directly on Amazon:
Studio 189
Actress Rosario Dawson and fashion marketing executive Abrima Erwiah co-founded Studio 189, an African-inspired clothing brand that's produced in Africa. The pieces are made with natural dyes from local plants and herbs in West Africa, including indigo and anatto, as well as sustainable natural fibers from Burkina Faso and Ghana. You can shop dresses, skirts, tops, and even towels and aprons, starting at $75.
Bychari
Bychari is a jewelry line that's handmade in Los Angeles and includes high-quality pieces for a wide range of prices. Major celebrities like Kate Hudson, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and Aimee Song have all been spotted wearing jewelry from the brand. You can shop gold-filled pieces on Amazon, including the Initial Ring and the chunky Sade Hoops.
Pantora
In 2001, 12-year-old Andrea Pitter founded the fashion brand Pantora from the stoop of her Brooklyn home. The brand's ready-to-wear line, which is available to shop on Amazon, is full of bright colors, bold silhouettes, and unexpected patterns.

Model Atelier
Founded by model Robin Harris, Model Atelier is a fashion brand meant for women 5'7" and taller.
