Our Mission: Area Stars Shines

Area Stars was founded as a sustainable brand to empower women of all backgrounds, styles and shapes to feel like a STAR in their own AREA!

As a lifestyle brand, we have always had at our core, a belief in giving back to our community. We have been able to promote the handmade designs of artisans from around the world, especially those who are female and brown. Here in the USA, we have made it a priority to donate unused samples and excess production of our designs, to Housing Works (https://www.housingworks.org/), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping those with AIDS/HIV. The vast majority of Housing Works’ recipients are from black and brown communities.

Now we are launching a new era at our brand with “AREA STARS SHINES”, a permanent commitment to shine a light on black and brown businesses and entrepreneurs. By leveraging our 25 years of fashion industry experiences and expertise, we believe we can help build a more inclusive tomorrow.

If you, or someone you know, is female, LGBTQIA+, black or brown, and is in need of professional expertise and assistance, but can't afford it; we welcome them to our charitable business mentorship program. Our services will include consultation and ongoing mentorship in the fields of merchandising, production, sourcing, finance, social media, wholesale and e-commerce.

Enrollment is simple and easy. Just email us at info@areastars.com, and let us know your idea or problem, and we will do our best to help you maximize your results, at no cost.

Our goal is to empower our black and brown communities to SHINE bright and be a giant part of the fashion collective.
