rainbow & co

What do you offer?

Rainbow & Co is a queer, trans, and autistic owned LGBTQIA+ apparel and accessories brand whose focus is celebrating and supporting the queer community. Customers can be confident purchasing from us knowing that we are queer owned, give back to the community, and strive to represent LGBTQIA+ authentically.

Why do you want to work with the LGBTQ+ community?

Because queer folk are my people! As a queer-owned business, working with the LGBTQ+ community is like supporting our own family. I started the business on realising there just wasn't the merch out there that represented myself and my friends and decided to create a brand that celebrated queer folk for exactly as they are. I know first-hand the importance of having safe, affirming spaces where our identities are celebrated, not just accepted and this is never more important than on your wedding day.

Allyship

Where to start! All of my designs are created to celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community, I've created a best selling Pocket Guide to LGBTQIA+ Identities, every year I attend numerous prides around the North West including Sparkle - The National Transgender Charity event in Manchester. I donate a minimum of 10% of profits to queer causes as well as regularly donate gift vouchers and products for raffles etc benefitting the community.

My apparel and accessories represent over 40 different LGBTQIA+ identities and I am always taking requests to add more. Designs are a collaboration between myself and my customers who are all either queer themselves or allies. All apparel is genderless and designed to fit the majority of bodies, we also stock sizes from a 2XS to 5XL. We produce blog posts on a wide variety of topics, both opinion pieces and factual, that resonate with the queer community. We also make it a priority to use inclusive language in our marketing and communications, and we’re always listening to feedback from our community to improve and make sure everyone feels seen and valued. We also love to collaborate with other queer artists to produce special edition products which help other artists get their names out there too.
