Merchant profile: Anna + Pookie

Anna + Pookie is the only female black-owned brand dedicated to providing party supplies created for children of color. Their unique party products feature black and brown children in fun and whimsical settings.

Their story began in 2018 when  founder Andrea grew tired of searching for party supplies with characters/themes representing black and brown children. The lack of diversity was highly disappointing. So, she had two options: pick party products that were generic and not very creative, or create unique and inspiring party products that celebrate and represent. Spoiler alert! She chose option #2, and the rest is history!

As a working Mom, Andrea knows how important it is to find party supplies that not only captivate the imagination but also provide a sense of pride and connection. Our curated selection of party essentials caters to the needs of mothers who want to plan unforgettable celebrations that represent their children authentically. Anna + Pookie offers high-quality party accessories that create picture-perfect celebrations. We offer eight unique paper party themes, including four superhero themes for boys and girls, a ballerina, a mermaid, a princess, and pirate themes.

Anna + Pookie was a finalist in the first Good Soil Seed Capital Competition.
