My Favorite Black-Owned Beauty & Handbag Brands to Shop This Black Friday
This Black Friday, if you’re going to spend money — make sure you’re spending it on Black-owned brands.
Hey y’all hey — it’s Anne Marie, BaldGirlWillTravel™.
Welcome (or welcome back) to my channel — where I talk all things Style. Travel. Freedom.
I create my content for women over 40 — especially Black women over 40 — who are ready to travel boldly, live comfortably, and embrace their personal style unapologetically.
And I want you to remember — style has no expiration date.
You’ve probably heard me say that I don’t plan to do any shopping this holiday season — and I’m still feeling pretty firm on that.
But if I do decide to buy anything, it’ll be from a Black-owned brand.
So in this video, I’m sharing some of my personal favorites — Black-owned brands that I’ve used and loved over the years:
👜 Brandon Blackwood — beautiful, structured, everyday handbags under $500.
👜 Florian London — this one is my Anya Clutch in Black, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Timeless, elegant, and the craftsmanship rivals any luxury designer bag. You can find them on Shopbop or directly on their website.
💋 The Lip Bar — “Bawse Lady” red matte lipstick is legendary.
💄 Fenty Beauty — still one of the most inclusive makeup lines.
🌸 Topicals — skincare that actually works.
🖤 EDEN BodyWorks — my go-to for hair and body products since Essence Fest 2019.
This isn’t about buying more — it’s about being intentional with our dollars and supporting quality Black-owned brands that give back to our communities.
