Black Owned Handbag Company That You Need To Know About: Brandon Blackwood

 Hello and Happy Tuesday to all of you fashion lovers out there, I hope that you all have had an amazing day and were as safe as possible. 

Last year, there were a lot of Black-Owned Businesses and Fashion designers that were being pushed into the limelight (And rightfully so.) for all of us to completely admire and put into our closets, and as more and more Black Fashion designers are coming into the fashion world, there's one handbag designer that I've been obsessed with for the longest time and I wanted to introduce to you guys to him today. 

As I was researching some Black-Owned Handbag designers on Instagram, I follow this page called Black Owned Everything (@blackownedeverthing)  Brandon Blackwood popped up. So I decided to go on his website and I fell in love with ALL of his handbags. Brandon Blackwood was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He is of Jamaican and Chinese descent, spending most of his childhood traveling to and from New York and Tokyo. After majoring in Neuroscientific Psychology at Bard University, Blackwood quickly realized that he would rather work in Fashion and started the necessary steps to launch his first handbag line. For two years he traveled all over the world to source the most ethical materials and fair-trade craftsmen before launching in 2015. His first collection consisted of 4 bags, each named after his closest friends and brother; The Morell, The Camille, The Sophia, and The Tristan. He still works with these craftsmen to this day. In the past 6 years, Blackwood has focused on creating bags, totes, and accessories that are trend-forward yet lasting. He produces pieces that he and his customer will love. Most recently, at the start of a year none of us were expecting, 2020, Brandon had the vision to create a bag with a statement he believes strongly, End Systemic Racism. Like all his pieces, this statement will forever be timeless. 


All of his bags are beautiful, but The Kendrick Truck just spoke to me. It reminded me of something that my grandmother would carry in the Fifties. Unfortunately, It's sold out on his website, and it retails for $120.00.

Happy Tuesday and Welcome Back to my Blog, I'm so happy that you stopped by here. I hope that you all are ready to share in my love for the latest Fashion Trends that has my full, undivided, attention. When I was growing up, I was always under the impression that all of us had to wear Black, Gray, and any other neutral colors to match the whole Winter Season. I wore my dark colors and don't get me wrong that was nice but looking back at the outfits that I wore I wished that I would've added a touch of color to them ( Who wants to look like you are constantly going to a Funeral) I love how color gives you a little pep in your outfit and how it gives you a instant mood lifter that will anyone looking at your outfit. Today's Blog Post is all about Colorful Coats, I'm loving this trend so much because why would you want to stay in the background when you were meant to stand out. From rich, saturated, jewel tones, to beautiful pastels this is something I love to

Hello again Fashion Lovers and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that you all are doing well and always in style while doing so. A jacket is the one thing that every person needs to have in their closets. I feel a jacket is the finishing piece to a outfit just like a watch, a handbag, or the the right pair of shoes. Jackets are really are having a real moment in the Fashion world and I must say, I'm in love with Jackets right now and quite honestly, I have a feeling that they are going to be here for a couple seasons on the runways.  Now I know what many of you are thinking, A Bomber Jackets in the Heat of Summer.

Bombers Jackets are the uber cool girl clothing item that everyone is wearing I remember when I was in High School girls was wearing them with jeans and sneakers and I seen women Bomber Jackets over bodycon dresses. I have two Bombers Jackets that I think you all will love. The first is a Olive

How To Look Chic In The Heat

Happy Tuesday Fashion Lovers out there, I hope that you are being your absolute stylish selves and spreading positive vibes wherever you go. Let's be honest with each other for a minute, we all love the summer for what it represents, spending time with our families and friends, going on beach vacations, enjoying the long summer nights, but we can not stand the heat. The heat does not go well with your outfit at all or anything else for that matter. In this heatwave that we all are experiencing (And some people believe that Climate Change is a hoax) we have to adapt to the heat and still look stylish. Having the right outfit in the heat is essential for a woman to have in her closet. I love wearing dresses in the Summer, They are light and airy and they can be dressed down for a casual barbeque with friends or dressed up for a night. Another thing that I love about dresses is that they are a complete outfit so when you have an unexpected event to go to, you're covered.
