Supporting Black Owned Businesses

I started @shopVETTED as a space to promote cruelty-free, conscientious shopping. Normally when I curate my edits, I select pieces based on what they are made of rather than who designed them. This week’s edit however, is focused on the what and the who, while staying aligned with our ethos. Here is my curation of some of my favorite cruelty-free pieces from black-owned businesses and designers. Please add to this list, share it, and support these businesses! 🖤 ⁣
