Style is culture. Culture is power. And nothing says unapologetic style like Black-owned brands led by our LGBTQIA+ community. These creatives aren’t just selling products — they’re reclaiming space, telling stories, and rewriting what it means to live boldly. Here are five you need on your radar:
1. Inkwell Fine Art Prints
Founded by Jason Hodges, a proud Black gay man, Inkwell is more than a print shop — it’s a mission. Each design radiates liberation, legacy, and queer joy. Perfect for walls that want to spark conversation.
2. Automic Gold
Jewelry that’s genderless, ethical, and timeless? Say less. This queer, trans-owned fine jewelry label works exclusively with recycled 14K gold and ethically sourced gems. Whether it’s stacking rings or a bold chain, Automic Gold proves luxury can be inclusive.
3. A Tribe Called Queer
Tees, hoodies, hats — and a whole lot of pride. Founded by Chance Jones, A Tribe Called Queer blends streetwear with social justice. Bold slogans and graphics make every piece a cultural statement.
4. A Rainbow in Your Cloud
Home goods as self-care rituals? Yes, please. Jenn Thompson’s A Rainbow in Your Cloud mixes plush textures, affirmations, and pastel palettes that turn any space into sanctuary.
5. BLK MKT Vintage
Brooklyn-based founders Jannah Handy and Kiyanna Stewart created BLK MKT Vintage to preserve history through rare books, retro posters, and vintage apparel. Each piece celebrates Black culture with a side of nostalgia.
✨ Culture doesn’t wait for permission. These brands are proof. Shop them, support them, and let your style reflect a legacy that’s bold, beautiful, and ours.
