Looking for new brands to support this upcoming spring season? We’ve got you covered! These sunglasses brands are doing their thing with new and classic frame shapes that are high quality and with great prices. Each brand is, of course, Black-owned with an ethos that includes making sure all of you look like the best beach version of yourself. If you have an upcoming trip and need some new shades, this is the place to look.

Take a look at some Black-owned brands to shop for new sunnies to get you spring/summer ready.
