Much of BlackBear's inventory is inspired by Emma's travels; Emma shops locally in each new city she visits, often with the hope of discovering something sweet for her loved ones. She's drawn to simple, purposefully styled items that feature an unexpected twist — a trio of wooden buttons for closure, or perhaps a playful cloth pattern that evokes nostalgia and warms the heart. Emma selects each piece for the boutique with this vision in mind, and sources ethically produced products — many of which are manufactured from organic or sustainable, natural materials — whenever possible.
