It also features items created by local artisans of color. The Noir Bookshop also is designed to be a community space, offering programming that includes storytime for children, book club discussions, community panels, author signings and lectures.
reaching a “whole” new market
A local brand is launching nationwide at Whole Foods Markets. Woman-, Black- and veteran-owned, Gyal Bashy offers sustainably and ethically sourced clothing inspired by the Caribbean. Inclusively sized, the brand features bold and vibrant apparel and accessories created with recycled fibers made from plastic waste, organic cotton or plant-based materials.
ethical skin care
Last November, skin and body care brand Ester & Mila opened its flagship boutique in the Central West End. It offers five skin care lines and seven body care lines designed around the idea of harmony between the human body and the world around us. All are packed locally and produced in small batches, using plant-based formulas that include ingredients like lavender, rosemary, clary sage, grapefruit, Peruvian balsam, coffee and oak moss. Along with skin and body care, the shop offers a selection of jewelry and unique crystals.
