On ne naît pas femme: on le devient.

From Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, it reminds us that womanhood isn’t fixed, it’s shaped, questioned, lived.

This piece honours that challenge. A refusal to accept narrow definitions of femininity, and a recognition of how those ideas still shape women’s lives now.

Printed clean and direct, it’s a statement that holds its ground without needing to shout.

▪ Quote from Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex
▪ Feminist philosophy brought into everyday wear

▪ Designed to be worn, read, and reflected on

About Black & beech

Values at our core

Black & Beech was created by me, Stacey Grant-Canham, as a part-time side hustle whilst on maternity leave with my first son. Since then, Black & Beech has evolved into a brand with a mission: to fuse a passion for feminism and activism with a commitment to provocative, ethical, and sustainable fashion. Fashion is a powerful form of expression and an effective tool for empowerment.

We have used our brand to promote activism in areas such as abortion rights and support for survivors of domestic violence. We have given over £20,000 in donations to charities that we endorse.
