In the midst of Black History Month, it’s only right to be informed by some upcoming black brands. You can support these brands by simply giving them a follow on Instagram, or checking out their sites to shop with them. Let's get into five upcoming black owned brands that are on the rise.
311us
311us is a brand that consists of mostly 1 of 1 unique pieces. The brand is by Torrion Reed and is based out of South Carolina. The brand name 311us comes from the angelic number 311 that stands for creativity and inspiration. The motif “UGLY'' means being more self aware.Nothing is perfect, beauty can be found in every mistake. The line's statement is all about embracing the imperfections that your peers may believe are ugly. This brand is definitely expected to go a long way due to its originality and creativeness.

DivaInTheUSA
Many stars have already been seen in the flashy 70’s inspired DivaInTheUSA, but the brand is definitely going to go much further. Only being a year old, the pieces have been seen on Lil Yachty, K Camp, Luka Sabbat and many more. Being based in Atlanta, I can see more celebrities hopping on the Diva wave very soon. The brand gives an old school feel with a signature 70’s looking font. I am very excited to see what's to come out of this brand.

Samaria Leah
Samaria Leah is a self titled brand that is based in Los Angeles, being another brand that delivers 1 on 1 pieces. The denim jeans are definitely a statement piece that could go in anyone's closet. The jeans give a vintage feel with a new twist. The signature “Leah” jeans can be found all over Instagram from your favorite fashion influencers. The brand is currently branching outside of denim, with it’s recent release of sweatsuits.

Undex Studios
Undex Studios is a streetwear brand that I see going far. The brand has super clean graphics that are very eye catching. Undex is based out of Newark, New Jersey; but is bound to go worldwide. Designer Troy Colwell says the inspiration behind the brand is “streetwear with a meaning behind it.” He also states “The brand is all about social injustice, teaching others things they may not have known through clothing. When people wear my clothes, I want them to feel inspired”. It is very appreciable to know the brand has such a political empowerment behind it.
