oh right i need to remember to post this

here's another lovely list of 20 black-owned #kawaii , #lolitafashion , #jfashion , #decora and other such fashion type stores!! i didn't compile this list, but honestly it's great to see them being talked about and specially highlighted for support! (and the author here looks also dope as fuck, her articles look well worth the read.)

even if you can't buy anything, most of these creators running these small businesses also have instagram accounts, so go give them a follow if you can!

i know a few of these and they come highly recommended. for example...

Mossbadger is great with innovative prints, and their Chiropteran Garden print is just fucking stunning, and i've seen so many people talk of it as their dream dress! (here's hoping that another round of orders for it will come by someday!)

Ota-Q is an utterly delightful brand that i have quite a few things on my wishlist from! though the shop is currently closed for orders, i feel like the owner's dedication to "cowboy kawaii" out there in the Texas heat is fucking phenomenal and i am SO excited to see what new designs she brings out!

i also have some new folks to keep an eye on too - like Starposhop! they look like an incredibly cool kawaii collective of PoC artists, creating merch and designs around their original characters as well as more generic kawaii goodness. what makes me write this paragraph calling them out by name, tho? MAGICAL BOY GEAR. if i started tagging people who i know deserve a "boys can be magical too", this post would double in length. ...ok maybe not that many but y'all get the idea. there are a lot of y'all

if looking at outfits, dresses, whole coordinates is too overwhelming, there's also the last entry on the list, which is...

PupcakesCupcats, who runs an INCREDIBLY CUTE stationary and enamel pen shop on etsy. honestly i'm adding a shitton to my etsy favourites here. the positive threatening shiba vibes. the cute stickers. THE ADORABLE MASKS. look at this one y'all!!! it's a fuckin cute dog coming out of a switch of COURSE i need that and you probably also need it too!!
