Thank you for getting my order to me quicker then I thought. My 12 year old grandson soon to be 13 years old LOVES IT! Thank you for this instrumental object to be available especially during Black History Month. My grandson came home upset after seeing one of those films of white men beating our black men during protest or what not. He was very upset. We of course explained that these black men being hit were our VERY STRONG and DETERMINED Black Men back then that demanded to have all of the freedoms in this country like any other Man and BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY was willing to up against the white people with dogs, sticks, guns etc. that wanted to keep our people oppressed. I also told him through it all OUR Black Men were able to invent things to made things better in this country, that it takes strong and genius minds to be able to endure oppression but still invent and create. My grandson
Agreed as soon as he got his sweater yesterday (Saturday) He wanted to wear it to school of course! Thanks again More orders to come from me

Fraudulent
January 27, 2022

This company is not black owned. Hey black entrepreneurs, might be a great start up business. Company out of china with a Delaware address. They even use black names to correspond through emails. That's why you can't talk to anyone.

The wait
January 25, 2022

At first I was nervous because I ordered after reading the reviews. Finally i received my order I placed my order Dec 17th and received it Jan 19th. So if you want to place an order and get it within 2 weeks it may be difficult due to the product shipping internationally, yet I was able to track the whereabouts daily... I loved both hoodies and the feel of them so it was worth the wait now I know to give at least a month in advance when I order from here again

Fake Company
January 3, 2022

This was my first time ordering from this company. No customer service, I have not been able to receive my items ordered in November for Christmas and its January now! When they do email you back they provide an automated response with a DHL tracking number that does not exist. It is a shame that they refuse to talk to you or refund your purchase. I have been contacting them almost daily after not receiving my items shortly before Christmas. The least they could do if they were a real company is contact the customer with specific details like every other company. Receiving the same automated email with false information is an insult when you try to support a small business. Save your money, don't order from them!

I ordered some sweatshirts which was a horrible mistakes. They were very light with thin material. The 3XL fit like a med. Beware this is a Chinese Company lying to Black people that it is Black Owned. The product takes about 2 months to arrive from China. There is a No Return Policy on these horrible over priced products.

Matching ‘fits

Hubby and I wore our outfits on vacation in Puerto Rico. They was so nice and comfortable to wear in the humid weather and we got tons of compliments on the print. The romper will be a summer go to for many summers to come.

Melaninful
September 9, 2021

Melaninful has the best civil rights clothes. I'm a white man married to a black woman. I have been a civil rights supporter for years and since I have found melaninful I have purchased several products from them. Takes a few weeks to receive the package but the wait is well worth it. Their products are extremely good quality and one of a kind. I highly recommend their products and website. Love melaninful and will purchase more products from them. I give them 5 stars for customer service and products

Love you melaninful,
Henry Wojturski

I like this brand!
August 10, 2021

Just ordered a hoodie 2 weeks ago and got it yesterday. The material is comfortable and warm, the design is def fire. Two weeks for shipping is not so long but the company still emailed to notify me with late delivery due to pandemic. I'm satisfied with this purchase. Come back later and highly recommend!

I ordered the Huey hoodies for me and my sons 3 weeks ago, it takes a little bit long but it's worth the waiting. We love the hoodies so so much. My son wears it all the time and he received nothing else but compliments. The fabric is SOOOOOO soft and we really like it. The company's service was so nice and helpful; they solve things through emails quite quick. Highly recommended!

This website is a scam website. Their address in USA is a fake. It's the same address being used by the parent company for another brand called Lit Activewear. Both Chinese drop shipping websites selling horrible quality products. I'm very disappointed that these people have the nerves to create and fake a black-owned business and then profit off the movement and the black community. It's so messed up to the point where no one should support this type of shadiness. Stay away!

Beautiful Hoodie

Beautiful hoodie. They definitely run true to "American" sizes. I ordered a 2XL, I'm 6"1' and it's a little big. Next time I'm ordering XL

I have ordered two sweat suits. I love them both. No, it isn't Black owned but I like their products. It takes a little longer to receive but they do provide adequate communication on the status.

My favorite ootd

I fell for this Malcolm X hoodie, ordered and it received after 3 weeks (because it is made-to-order as claimed on their site). Very comfortable. It just gives kinda feeling of pride. Support black culture!

Repeat Customer
February 16, 2021

This company is based in China... good possibility they're not black; but I am black buying Africentric clothing so, Im not African, Im just supporting Africentric ideologies.

I have loved every one of the hoodies Ive purchased from this place and I have 7, the only discrepancy is my most recent purchase, my Malcolm X Typo all over hoody looks nothing like the picture on the screen, I will have to turn it into a work hoody.

With product coming from China shipping costs can get ugly and then there are weather delays so please expect at least a month delay on your purchase... here is the wait time for my most recent order:

Ordered January 16
Arrived February 6th

Overall they are a good company to do business with as they offer quality themed products and many people purchase Jordans which expresses NO-THING empowering African culture, that brand does not increase awareness or show support of ANY-THING African related, Whether Melaninful is black or not has nothing to do with why we should support them as a company, we should support them because they offer a product that celebrates us.
