The Black-Owned Lingerie Brands at the Top of Our Shopping List

Welcome to Vogue’s very first Lingerie Week, where we’re celebrating the pleasure of gifting no one but yourself this Valentine’s Day. Over the next five days, we will be highlighting a handful of our favorite brands, from the size-inclusive to the eco-conscious and everything in between—breaking down the traditional barriers of giving and receiving intimates and ridding the old codes of V-Day gifting.

Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day with your soulmate or indulging in a little me time, it’s the perfect time of the year to splurge on a new chiffon nightgown or a lace-trimmed set. For me, that purchase will come from one of the Black-owned lingerie brands I’ve been anxious to add to my collection. 

I’m sure you’ve already heard all the buzz around Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty designs. The playful silhouettes, inclusive sizing, and approachable price point practically made us forget about all of those old-school lingerie brands. But our other favorite Black-owned lingerie brands also deserve to be on your radar. Searching for dreamy lingerie with sustainability at the top of mind? Look no further than Bum Cake’s vintage chemise and Torlowei’s ethically made satin skirt. If you want something on the more practical side, there are options versatile enough to be worn as outerwear, like Nubian Skin’s biker shorts and LaSette’s lounge-worthy tops. 

Here, discover all nine of our favorite Black-owned lingerie brands to slip on this Valentine’s Day.
