These Great Style Brands Are Benefitting Worthy Causes This Pride Month
June is Pride Month, 30 days commemorating LGBTQ+ pride, and this year, some of our all-time favorite fashion brands are doing their part to support the community.
If you're on the hunt for new jewelry, apparel, intimates and more and want your money to go to a worthy cause, look no further. Below are some fabulous brands—and precisely how they're giving back all Pride Month long.
Awe Inspired x Leisha Hailey
Awe Inspired is a jewelry brand designed around feminine symbols that empower the wearer, and their new Sappho Necklaces, featuring L-Word star and lesbian icon Leisha Hailey, are the perfect match for both the company and Pride Month. Sappho was an Ancient Greek poet who remains a queer icon to this day, and 100% of proceeds from these necklaces go to benefit Awe Inspired partner GLSEN, an organization dedicated to ending discrimination and harm to queer youth and promoting inclusivity in schools.

Harper Wilde
Harper Wilde is one of out all-time favorite bra brands, dedicated to making affordable bras for people of all shapes and sizes, and we're even more in love with them thanks to their Pride give-back initiative this year. Their Pride collection includes a limited-edition tote bag and bralette, designed in partnership with queer artist Caitlin Bunnie. Better yet, 100% of proceeds from the collection this month will go to The Okra Project, a non-profit supporting Black trans people across the nation.
