11 Creators of Color to Support This Juneteenth (and Beyond)

June 20, 2022

This year marks only the second that Juneteenth is, officially, a federal holiday, though it’s been celebrated long, long before that. How to recognize the day? Support Black- and BIPOC-owned brands and creators—today and beyond.

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.

Keep an eye on Stamps’ Instagram (@lollylollyceramics) for info on upcoming drops of her sculptural forms, like this black stoneware 53/100 Mug.

(We also like the bold Bana Rug in Cerise, as seen in this post’s featured image; it’s currently available for preorder.)

We like the sounds of Moonlight, a blend of chamomile, lemon balm, and coconut; $12 for a (well-designed) bag.

We particularly like his sleek Incense Holder, made from bamboo and brass scraps; $65. (For more, see “Clean, Subtle, Sustainable” Bamboo Furniture Inspired by Japanese Joinery.)

These French Blue and Oatmeal Linen Tea Towels can be used as kitchen towels or as placemats; $79 for a set of four.
