With Women’s History Month in our rearview mirror, Reader’s Digest shopping editors want to underscore the importance of supporting women-owned brands, even outside of the holiday. Below are the 10 best women-owned brand sales you need to shop for this spring. Not only are some of our readers’ favorite retailers on this list, but we’re excited to draw attention to a few under-the-radar merchants we can’t get enough of.
Brands that are women-founded were originally created by females or a majority of women, while women-owned brands are owned and controlled by women. In this case, a majority means over 50%. Likewise, this applies to other minority-run businesses, including those owned and operated by Asian Americans, Black-owned businesses and brands run by LGBTQ+ folks.
