Supporting Black Female Founded Businesses
As part of our content dedicated to platforming Black voices for Black History Month, we’ve put together a list of Black-female owned businesses for you to discover and support.
Made up of real suggestions sent in after Lemon reached out to our community on Instagram, we’re so excited to share them with everyone and thank you to all our followers for sharing their suggestions.
Image Gang
Come for the jewellery, stay for the vibes - Founded in South London, accessories brand Image Gang creates affordable yet stylish and high-quality gold jewellery inspired by girl power, togetherness and founder Isabelle White’s community of courageous young women. We love their personalised name plate necklaces and range of anklets which come in inclusive sizing!
Studio Seventy
Paying homage to 70’s era aesthetics, Studio Seventy creates luxury timeless garments which can be worn and loved for a lifetime. Founded by London-based designer Liberty Rose Yates in 2020, Studio Seventy’s first drop features some seriously stylish pieces, ranging from printed bikinis to mesh dresses, matching two-piece sets and accessories.
Good Mela
Founded by culture, moulded by science - Good Mela is a vegan, cruelty free and conscious beauty & wellness brand changing cosmetics as we know it. Providing products and shades for all, Good Mela’s products are a love letter to the founder, Mela's Jamaican heritage and Caribbean culture. Not only do we love their products, but we also love the fact that a percentage of their profits are donated to reproduction dysfunction research foundations.
Dee’s Basement
Founded in East London, Dee’s Basement is a Cake and Confectionary studio founded by Dee Omole, specialising in unique and picture perfect desserts. Creating bespoke and postal orders, Dee’s passion for baking came from baking with her mother and creating sugary treats for friends. We are absolutely obsessed with her hand painted chocolate madeleines, they almost look too good to eat.
Bon Mangé
Born from a love of food, Bon Mangé crafts natural, homemade products along with creating recipes and hosting pop-up dining bringing St Lucian cuisine and Caribbean flavours to the masses. Check out their signature Aunty Val’s hot sauce, a totally vegan family recipe packed with flavour.
Kemi Telford
Inspired by founder Yvonne Modupe Telford’s Nigerian heritage Kemi Telford creates wearable everyday clothes to make women feel amazing. Working closely with manufacturers in the UK, India, Nigeria and China, Kemi Telford doesn’t just stop at empowering the people who buy their products; ensuring all of the people creating their products are paid fairly and treated with respect, which makes their clothes all the more beautiful.
Mara Luna
Named after the Spanish phrases for ‘Sea’ and ‘Moon’ respectively, Mara Luna creates bespoke holistic wellness products for the mind, body and soul. Founded by Amarah Alexandra, who also designs, photographs and produces all Mara Luna products. Mara Luna’s signature Crystal Candles are crafted from natural soy wax and come complete with their own mantra, crystal and meditation guide.
