What is Aloe Vintage?
Aloe Vintage is a black owned online boutique catering towards size inclusivity. Help bring Aloe to life with a real live store! Size inclusivity in vintage is usually unheard of or ignored. At Aloe Vintage, Frankie Leveau strives to find clothes for everyone of every size and every color.
The Deets:
I started Aloe Vintage after a racially fueled incident at a place of employment. I decided to take control of my own life and resources and took the leap to start Aloe Vintage. Since then, I have had vast success in the online retail world. However, starting a brick and mortar is another story and I need your help to kick it off!
Who benefits from this?
This is for those who have ever felt invalidated. To those that are often disregarded or overlooked in society. As a Black Business owner, I strive to create an environment of acceptance and care. I will use the space to cater to the community, Hosting shows, events, metaphysical work, and community workshops( Post the Pandemic).
This will be a space where all ages can come and enjoy some blasts from the past! It will also be the only Black Owned Vintage store in New Orleans.
Why donate?
Support Black Businesses and a halt to gentrification in a historically black city.
Support all sizes with an inclusive and attentive brand.
Even $5 helps! If I raise $10 a day it all goes towards building something magical and special for all. Check us out on instagram @shopaloevintage!
