About Afro City Marketplace
Afro City Marketplace is a business collective based at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall in Los Angeles, dedicated to supporting Black designers, entrepreneurs, and brands. The marketplace describes its mission as creating a new shopping experience that supports Black-owned businesses and keeps capital circulating within Black communities through intentional purchasing, a concept it refers to as recycling Black dollars in the community. The marketplace features more than 25 vendors selling a range of products, including brands such as Afri'Hats Fashions, Afrolicioushair, Dre Designs, Go Bee Live Honey, The Mahogany Box, Mama Sunshine, LA Native, and Ty Duprie Handheld Art Handbags. This vendor mix spans categories including fashion, beauty, accessories, and specialty goods, giving shoppers a single destination to discover multiple Black-owned brands under one roof. Beyond retail space for its member brands, Afro City Marketplace offers event space rental for community gatherings and functions, along with on-site braiding services. The collective also sells its own branded merchandise, including an Afro City Baldwin Hills t-shirt priced at 0, and maintains an open vendor application process for Black-owned brands interested in joining the marketplace. Located within the well-known Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall, a longstanding retail hub in a historically Black neighborhood of Los Angeles, Afro City Marketplace positions itself as both a retail destination and a community-building project, aiming to strengthen the local Black business ecosystem through collective visibility and shared retail space. The business can be reached by email at [email protected] or through its Instagram account, @afrocitymarketplace.
