A quick look at the world around us tells us that pretty much all industries can do better at supporting black individuals, communities and businesses, with the greeting card industry being no exception. If you’re a white person, it might not even be something that’s crossed your mind until you read this sentence, but the levels of representation of black people and culture depicted on greeting cards are shockingly low. Getty Images It just isn’t right that anyone shouldn’t be able to walk into a shop and immediately find a card that represents themselves and/or their recipient, but the fact of the matter is that it’s currently very hard to find greeting cards with a non-white person on the front in UK card shops. There are, however, some fabulous black-owned greeting card brands out there that do depict black people and black culture wonderfully – one such line is Kitsch Noir, which has just started to be stocked at greeting card and gift shop chain Scribbler. Its founder, Cherelle, designs each card with the intention to represent the love, joy and humour within the black British experience and it has grown into a multi award-winning brand that’s now available nationwide. Spending money with black-owned businesses is just one way to be a better ally to the black community, but as consumers it can certainly be a powerful one. From fashion to beauty brands to black business directories, there are a number of ways to spend your money more wisely – and shopping with the below greeting card brands are another way to do so. 9 brilliant black-owned greeting card brands Kitsch Noir Scribbler Buy Kitsch Noir cards Afrotouch Design Afrotouch Design Buy Afrotouch Design cards Ibere Apparel Ibere Apparel Buy Ibere Apparel cards Leanne Creative Etsy Buy Leanne Creative cards Hood Greetings Hood Greetings Buy Hood Greetings cards Ionna Marie Designs Etsy Buy Ionna Marie Designs cards Colourshot Cards Etsy Buy Colourshot Cards Candy Rays Etsy Buy Candy Rays cards Nicola Lespeare Etsy Buy Nicola Lespeare cards RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Everything we know about The Crown season 5 Aldi s exercise equipment is on sale with up to 50% off The best Halloween events for 2022 across the UK Popular in Life Groomzillas Brace yourself for a new breed of monster rampaging down July 7, 2019 Elizabeth Day Sorry can t make your party I m on the sofa August 11, 2019 Using these 10 words makes you middle class apparently September 9, 2019 Megan Phelps-Roper ‘ I was born to preach hate I chose to October 6, 2019 Dr Clare Bailey No energy You may need an iron boost November 10, 2019 Emma Winterschladen Meet the mega matchmaker December 1, 2019 Dr Clare Bailey Comfort joy… and a festive hug December 22, 2019 Elizabeth Day I’ m not grumpy… it’ s just my face January 19, 2020 Elizabeth Day Oh the joy of knowing nothing February 16, 2020 This postcard is a sweet simple way to help others during March 16, 2020 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
