Shoppe Object’s Black Lives Matter Action Initiative (BLMAI) seeks to foster a better, more representative home and gift market by subsidizing the cost of exhibition space at Shoppe Object to talented independent Black designers and makers. We are proud to have hosted incredible brands across all home and gift categories – from textiles to tabletop – as a part of this program, and we look forward to continuing to expand our community.
