Spending consciously is something many people are trying to do, whether that’s reducing their disposable consumption or switching to sustainable materials.
Initiatives to support Black-owned businesses, such as Black Pound Day, are also included in this, and have helped highlight the great work of underrepresented entrepreneurs.
Despite the fact that Black business brings £25-£32 billion to the UK economy annually, they receive just 1% of venture capitalist investments, and are more likely to be denied loans than their white counterparts.
That’s why, through Black History Month and beyond, people are choosing to put extra thought into where their money’s going – and getting the added bonus of finding unique and diverse items as a result.
If you want to get your hands on pieces from some of the fashion industry’s top talent, you’ve come to the right place.
