What We Do
At Ourhood Community, we're more than just a marketplace. We're a curated space dedicated to celebrating the richness of Black culture through premium Black-owned brands.
We work with brands to engage with a conscious consumer, using content to tell the story of their products and share their narratives. By partnering with brands that are rich in both style and culture and combining this storytelling with our unique edit of products, we create a compelling selection for our community and empower them to discover new brands.
A percentage of our profits will be donated to black focused charities, aiming to give back to the community, tackle social injustice and create opportunities for those in need.
Why We Do It
Our journey began in the summer of 2020, amidst a turbulent time that called for action against social injustice. Determined to make a difference, we founded Ourhood to provide a platform for Black creatives, empowering them to showcase their talent and reach new audiences.
We looked into some of the biggest fashion marketplaces around and found that we could see Black trends and aesthetics being used widely. However, when we investigated the hundreds of brands on offer on these sites, we saw that the percentage of Black-owned brand that featured on these sites rarely even went as high as 2%.
Ourhood is committed to being a cause driven business and one of compassion, in keeping with our community values. We look forward to growing alongside our partner brands and we hope that you can join us on the journey.
Who We Are
Ourhood was founded by two childhood friends, Michael and Mike, who share a passion for fashion and a vision for a more inclusive marketplace. With years of experience in fashion and advertising, they've combined their expertise to create Ourhood Community - a space where culture thrives and communities unite.
Join Us on the Journey... Whether you're a shopper, a brand owner, or simply someone who believes in the power of community, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can build a world where diversity is celebrated, voices are heard, and every purchase makes a difference.
Welcome to Ourhood Community - Where Culture Comes to Life.
