Why we love it: This brand was founded by AL Sandimir who is a metalsmith and jewelry designer dedicated to making sustainable and ethically-sourced pieces. Their collection is size-inclusive and locally sourced, rejecting the typical fast-fashion approach to jewelry.
Why we love it: Souk Bohemian is a quintessential trifecta of color, queerness, and womanhood. Creating touchpoints in fashion, publication, beverages and inspired by the founders' ,Vanessa Vernon and Morgan Ashley-Bryant, travel to Morocco, the brand centers the underrepresented women of color in the Boho space--similar to ourselves here at Pearls Unclutched in the motivational space.
Why we love it: This family-owned bookstore and café based in California was founded by Emily Autenrieth (ey/em). Ey aims to create community and reach for and including the voices of queer and BIPOC people, and views ASATT as a safe third-space for people to explore diverse identities.
Why we love it: Inspired by "a little bit of everything", which visibly includes queerness and retro fashion such as 1970's funkadelic style, founder Shanna uses her handmade pieces to encourage self-expression.
In conclusion, we love that these businesses not only build an economy for queer folks but that they also focus on the ethics of their products. Please shop with these brands both during and after Pride month! All businesses were featured on NBC select.
