With so many unique, trend-forward handmade gems on Etsy, Black History Month is the perfect time to tap in and shop standout creations from Black makers.

Etsy is full of creatives turning everyday shopping into something special—and this Black History Month, the platform is spotlighting three Black-owned shops that are doing way more than selling products. These artists are building community, celebrating heritage, and shaking up the art world with their bold, beautiful work. From New York Times bestselling illustrators to museum-featured creators, their stories are as inspiring as the pieces they make.

Loveis Wise (they/them) has been turning heads on Etsy with their original prints. A Los Angeles-based, New York Times bestselling illustrator, Wise creates everything from art prints and book covers to children’s books, apparel graphics, and product designs. They started selling on Etsy eight years ago to share their work beyond freelance gigs and grow confidence in their creative voice. Today, Wise juggles freelancing, teaching illustration as an adjunct professor at Laguna College of Art + Design, and running their Etsy shop—where they’ve sold over 1,000 pieces and continue to champion community-focused art.

Alicia Piller is an LA-based mixed media artist and jewelry maker, turning trash into treasure. She transforms recycled textiles, found objects, and industrial scraps into sculptural, wearable art that’s as sustainable as it is striking. Rooted in Afro-futurist storytelling, her pieces weave ancestry, history, and cosmic vibes into every design. You can snag her jewelry on Etsy—or spot it in museums like L.A.’s Craft Contemporary and the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.

Karina Daniel Parris is the creative force behind LovelyEarthlings, where her joyful, inclusive illustrations of women shine on paper goods and accessories on Etsy. She started back in 2012 with hand-drawn greeting cards and has since expanded into prints, canvas art, totes, and notebooks. Going digital on her iPad was a game-changer—letting her scale her work while keeping her signature whimsical style intact.

Supporting Black-owned Etsy shops is more than a shopping spree—it’s a way to celebrate creativity, heritage, and community. This Black History Month, consider adding a few pieces from Loveis Wise, Alicia Piller, and Karina Daniel Parris to your collection. You’ll be supporting artists who are shaping culture while making beautiful, meaningful work you can enjoy every day.
