CurrentBLACK & BEECHFASHION | FEMINISM | MOTHERHOOD | ACTIVISMA FAMILY LIFESTYLE BRAND ASKING US TO THINK MORE, DO MORE, BE MOREBlack & Beech was founded by Irish designer and entrepreneur, Stacey Grant-Canham in the Autumn of 2016. In the last 6 years, Stacey has built a brand that isn’t just known for its design-led product offering but also its commitment to raising awareness of key social issues. Feeling disempowered following the Brexit vote, the Trump election but galvanised by the Repeal movement back in her native Ireland, Stacey designed her iconic “A Mother’s Place Is In The Resistance” tee. A percentage of profits were donated to the Abortion Support Network, a charity helping women requiring abortion care and the overwhelmingly positive reaction to this led Stacey to realise business, in this day and age, can and should be about more than selling product.Since then, Black & Beech has developed its product offering to include t-shirts, sweaters, and knitwear. It’s a bold brand with a whip-smart ethos offering quality, design-led products that do what they can to make a statement, make a change and help those in need. Stacey is committed to creating a highly ethical production process that takes into account its impact on the people involved and the environment – the factories she uses offset their carbon footprint, they use organic cotton and are independently verified to be sweatshop free. The brand has so far donated over £13,000 to charities supporting women’s rights, abortion rights and political campaigns such as the Together for Yes campaign in Ireland.Black & Beech isn’t a company paying lipservice to feminism, women’s rights and the politically downtrodden; it’s a company striving every day to implement practical ways to make the world a better place.
