Meet The Black Cards Team!
Three brands, one vision. The Black Card Company is the concept from three micro greeting card brands who are black female owned. These 4 entrepreneurs felt galvanised to address the lack of diversity and inclusion in the greeting card industry by creating a multi vendor platform for black card creators like themselves. Established in 2020, The Black Card Company is a UK based online shopping platform for diverse greeting cards, authentically represented by diverse brands, for a multi-cultural customer base.

Why The Black Card Company?
We live in a diverse society but the greeting card industry simply does not reflect this. The significant gap in the market for diverse cards and the demand for them hasn’t been filled until now! The Black Card Company marries supply with demand. We connect customers and their loved ones, who want to be seen and represented – with diverse brands who can authentically represent them. A match made in heaven!
Black card brands in particular, have historically had difficulty gaining access to the mainstream greeting card industry. This, along with the fact that black businesses often have less resources, funding or the infrastructure of other communities means they deserve extra support. The Black Card Company represents under-represented black card brands. – we celebrate and support their creativity and cultural expression. We aim to amplify the visibility of black owned brands so they can be seen and appreciated by a wider audience.
The Black Card Company – A place where diversity is celebrated!
