18 Women-Owned Businesses to Shop For Women's History Month

18 Women-Owned Fashion Brands to Shop All the Time, but Especially This Month

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Women's History Month is the perfect time to brush up on your knowledge of fashion companies big and small that were started by women — don't you think? While we're still keeping feel-good, work-from-home style top of mind this month, the fall and winter runways have such positive, uplifting tones, we're naturally inspired to do some shopping. Ahead, we curated a list of clothes and accessories we have our eyes on all because, yep, they're damn cute, but they all support strong businesswomen during March, when appreciation is key. Scroll to learn a little bit of backstory from each brand and see if our favourite site selections speak to you, too. Run and get your credit card JIC — all the (girl) power to you.

Americae

"Americae was founded by Gabriela Guaracao, who was born in Colombia but raised in the US. In fact, Americae is the Colombian word for "The Americas." Gabriela draws from both places, but is particularly inspired by the Amazonian plants. I fell especially in love with her Raw Emerald Ring ($278), which is special because it's from the Ecosystem collection, incorporating materials from Japan and Milan. Emerald also happens to be my birthstone, and I'm always attracted to imperfections or unique details when it comes to gems." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion

J.Crew

"I can't get enough of the new sporty, vintage looks J.Crew just released. I had to immediately get this Collared Cashmere Sweater in Rugby Stripe ($) to enjoy while it's still cooler." — Lisa Sugar, POPSUGAR editor-in-chief

Jade Swim

"It's no wonder the well-curated Jade Swim line was created by a former editor and stylist. Designer Brittany Korzerski finds the most flattering minimal silhouettes in luxe, sustainable fabrics, not to mention the perfect colour palette. I love the fit of the ribbed and terry collections, but don't wait — they sell out fast! My eye is on the Halo Top ($120) and Bound Bottom ($90)." — Dana Avidan Cohn, Executive Style Director

Brother Vellies

"I've been a longtime fan of Aurora James and her collection Brother Vellies. Everything she creates is beautiful, thoughtful, and with intention. Not only does her collection help to preserve traditional African design practices and create sustainable jobs, but each item truly feels like a one-of-a-kind piece. I will be wearing these Greg Sandals ($465) all spring and summer." — DAC

Cuyana

"Any bag brand that's good enough for Meghan Markle is good enough for me. I've been eyeing Cuyana's bags for a while now but felt like I couldn't rationalize a purchase since I rarely go out anymore. But when I saw the new Double Loop Bag in Cappuccino ($295) I knew I needed to just take the plunge and make the purchase. The piece is perfect for everyday wear, so I don't need any fancy occasion to take it out and about. My future self will thank me!" — Karenna Meredith, associate editor, Trending and Viral Features

Subsurface

"Kari Fry's goal with the debut of Subsurface the first week of April 2020 was to approach fashion from a slow method, never anticipating the launch coinciding with a pandemic. Now more than ever, her vision for a specially curated wardrobe and only buying pieces that have intention becomes a reality. If the Silk Ribbon Top ($210) and matching Silk Ribbon Pant ($395) was my only luxe, indoor-meets-outdoor outfit until the end of time, I'd be A-OK." — SW
