Coach have been a long-time supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, and in over 70 years the brand have never failed to celebrate Pride month in style. So, in honour of Pride 2020 Coach have unveiled, for the first time ever, an entire Pride collection. (*round of applause please*)

In previous years, we’ve seen Coach celebrate Pride from strength to strength, by directing short films to the release of unique products to mark the month; however, they have kicked things up a notch this year to launch a brand new twenty-piece collection.

Yes, that is right. The new line houses a range of gender-neutral accessories and attire, all of which are decked with Coach’s iconic signature ‘C’ logo and have been ‘Pride-ified’ in a multi-colour palette. It features everything from a geometric, knitted button-up cardigan, to a Coach embellished bucket hat, to our personal favourite, rainbow sliders. And just to highlight again, everything is gender-inclusive with this collection.

Along with the new launch even comes a special campaign, named “We C You”. It stars actor/comedian Rickey Thompson, singer Kim Petras and Bob the Drag Queen in a promotional video to share the moment when they truly felt seen for the first time. In the video Bob the Drag Queen expressed how she often turned to other Drag artists to feel acceptance and to be welcomed into the community. She said: “I felt seen when I saw Bebe Zahara Benet, who is this amazing African drag queen, and thought to myself “well if she can be seen, I can be seen.”

As expected, Coach didn’t stop at a new campaign and launch. They also announced that they’ve made donations to their longstanding partner the Hetrick-Martin Institute, and new partners, GLSEN and the Albert Kennedy Trust. All of which are organisations supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Carlos Becil, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Coach said in a press release:

“We are proud to continue our long-time support of the LGBTQ+ community with a film series celebrating its courageous and optimistic spirit — this month and every month. The campaign’s message of inclusivity and authentic self-expression is very important to us, and we were honoured to work with creatives from the community to bring it to life.”

There has never been a more perfect time to shop at Coach and to support a campaign. So, whether you are needing a new Pride bag in your life or simply having a browse, join us to view the entire Pride collection on the Coach website.

The middle of June is just around the corner. We know, where has the time gone? And despite COVID-19 pressing the pause button on all Pride events and parades, it has not stopped the rest of us from carrying on the rainbow celebrations!

While we are all doing our bit to support the LGBTQ+ community, each year the beauty industry goes above and beyond to show their love for equality. Whether that be a new line of Pride products, giving their staple lip gloss a rainbow revamp, or donating to charities, the beauty community never lets us down.

So, to grow the support and celebrate Pride, shop some of our favourite Pride edition products we’ve selected at Voir. We’ll race you to it!

Morphe: Free to Be Collection

Not only has Morphe given us real makeup inspo of late, but it is also paving the way forward in supporting those in the LGBTQ+ community.

To celebrate Pride, Morphe released a limited-edition ‘Free to Be’ collection. The line, which you can buy right now, includes an eye shadow palette (of course, featuring a range of classic Pride shades), brush collection and lip gloss.

And to make the launch all the more important, they announced that 100% of the proceeds will be given to GLSEN; an organisation helping to ensure safe education environments for queer and trans children. Time to get shopping.

Vaseline

Vaseline have even done their bit to sprinkle a bit of Pride onto their classic petroleum jelly balm and has been made in partnership with Switchboard. A helpline which offers support for those in the LGBTQ+ community.

However, you’ll have to hold your horses on this one. It won’t be launched until the 15th June 2020. Sorry about that!

Batiste Love is Love Dry Shampoo

If we weren’t feeling the love already, we are now. Batiste revamped their popular dry shampoo in honour of Pride 2020 and launched a ‘Love is Love’ special edition. Of course, smelling as good as always with a fruity and floral fragrance.

Not only have will it leave you with proud looking hair, Batiste have also pledged that £30,000 will be donated to the LGBT foundation. Can it get better?

NYX

To celebrate Pride 2020, NYX have launched three new Pride products to mark the occasion, including an Ultimate Shadow Palette, Vivid Bright’s Eyeliner and Shout loud Lipstick. As you may have guessed, all in true Pride shades. These are going straight into our basket.

NYX have always stood tall for the LGBTQ+ community in saying ‘We believe in equality for all.’ So, their campaign doesn’t just last the month of June but strives for more! The campaign will run until Pride 2021 to help train and educate the public on how to be an LGBTQ+ ally.

Marc Jacobs: Beauty Enamoured Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick

Marc Jacobs have unleashed their Pride onto their own cult Enamoured Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick. It features one of five glossy shades and is housed in a special edition rainbow box. Now if that doesn’t scream Pride, we don’t know what will.

Better yet, Marc Jacobs are donating $10,000 to Sage, a non-profit who support older members of the LGBTQ+ community and $10,000 to Le Refuge in France which helps to prevent the suicide of victims of homophobia and transphobia.

Face Halo: Love is Love

‘Love yourself, love each other, love the environment’ is Face Halo’s motto. And we couldn’t agree more! Face Halo have only gone and dressed up their microfibre face clothes (500 single-use make-up remover wipes) with a rainbow trim to support the community!

Not only is the brand environmentally friendly, but are donating 5% of the profits to The Treavor Project in supporting Black LGBTQ+ youth. Round of applause everyone.
