About Brandon Blackwood
Brandon Blackwood launched his namesake New York accessories label in 2015 with a four-piece collection, after studying neuroscience at Bard College and interning in fashion. The brand specializes in structured, trend-driven handbags in leather, nylon, and other materials, and rose to national prominence in 2020 with its purpose-driven "End Systemic Racism" tote, which raised funds for civil-rights legal aid and repeatedly sold out. Now a multi-million-dollar business worn by major celebrities, Brandon Blackwood is one of the most celebrated Black-owned accessory brands, merging cultural commentary with covetable design.
