How to recognize Juneteenth? Support Black- and BIPOC-owned brands and creators.
Here are just a few of our favorite makers of color throughout the US (and internationally), with standout wares to give—and get—for any occasion.
We’re admirers of New York-based Bolé Road Textiles, founded by designer Hana Getachew and inspired by Ethiopian hues and patterns; the Turmi Pillow in Cerise is $235.
The latest collection from Lalese Stamps of Lolly Lolly Ceramics sold out almost immediately after it launched; keep an eye on @lollylollyceramics for info on upcoming drops of her sculptural forms.
Paris-based, Nigeria-born, Texas-raised designer Ajiri Aki offers table linens in all hues via Madame de la Maison; her Orage Linen Table Runner is €225.00.
Designer Emmanuel Olunkwa’s whimsical Mini Table “sits one person or a few things.” It’s $650 from his own line, E&Ko.
And Canadian broomsquire Amina Haswell of Prairie Breeze Folk Arts Studio hand-makes utilitarian brooms of all sorts, like these Hawks Tail Whisk Brooms; each is $30 CAD.
