About Us

For a young black woman growing up in London in the early 2000’s, there wasn’t much positive representation in the media for people who looked like me. No females on my favorite TV shows, or Movies had my skin tone, and if they were, they were depicted in a derogatory manor. 

As a child I remember buying mother’s days cards and coloring in the woman’s skin so she would look more like my mother, or opting for a card with pretty flowers. 

Now an adult, I realized that not only do I have the opportunity to create a business that makes black women and men feel seen, but also celebrated for being just who they are! 

That was the birth of Sweet&Sable, I hope you feel at home as you look around our young but consistently growing store. 

If you don’t feel represented in ANY way, please drop me a message and I’ll do my best to make you feel included in one of our upcoming collections.

Love, Maria x
