According to Nancey Harris and Tracy Vontélle Green, “African American consumers spend billions of dollars on eyewear from  luxury name brands, but they are not owned (designed and manufactured) by Black-owned fashion houses or companies.”

They are filling the void with Vontélle Eyewear which focuses on creating stylish brands with Black women in mind.

It wasn’t easy getting this business going as they used their own money to start and the pair said that they  interviewed many designers and manufacturers that  either  “did not believe in us, could not understand our vision, and/or did not want to work with two young Black women.”  But for 2021, Harris and Green say they plan to change the landscape of the eyewear industry by selling their current inventory, creating new designs, and changing the world!” (Source: BlackEnterprise.com)
