Happy Women's Equality Day!
August 22, 2017
Women’s Equality Day was first initiated by the U.S. Congress in 1971 to commemorate the anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. In honor of the approaching day on August 26th, we’re spreading girl power by showcasing some of our favorite lady-lead brands that you can check out in our store on South Congress Ave!
