SANCHO’S

Established in 2015, Sancho’s set to become a Black-owned, sustainable, affordable clothing and fair trade shop. It’s fair to say founder Kalkidan Legesse has accomplished that and more, as she was recently featured in the documentary series ‘Bossing It’ on BBC ONE. In her episode, she talks about building her sustainable fashion store from scratch and how difficult it is to access finance as a Black female. How exactly does Kalkidan ensure Sancho’s products are ethical and sustainable? It starts with a 5-step process: organic and recycled materials, a three-month guarantee to ensure high-quality, third-party accreditation so that no child labor is used, Black-owned inclusive brands, and helping their customers recycle clothing. From clothing to jewelry to accessories and home products, find everything sustainable and ethical under the sun at Sancho’s.

SANCHO'S

If you’re ever browsing your social media and come across those L.A. bohemian-themed interiors decked out in green plants, cool pots, and eclectic decor, they might be thanks to Justina Blakely. Since starting as a small blog, Jungalow has become a full- fledged, established e-com site full of products like plants, pots, rugs, wall decor, wallpaper, and much more. But at the center of it all are plants—the centerpiece of any boho-centric room with that indoor-outdoor feel. If you aren’t living in Southern California and want a piece of the action, don’t worry, the Jungalow lifestyle brand can now be found in Target stores. Wherever you find Jungalow products, all collections are designed in her Los Angeles studio with selections of artist prints from around the world. All their products are manufactured with the environment and communities in mind. That means ceramics from Vietnam, textiles from India, printed wallpapers from the U.S., and other vendors that look out for people.
