with summer temps ticking up and travel plans on hold, we’re escaping this month by reading. as grace atwood put so well, “it is important to read books with a main character whose perspective is different from your own.” we are sharing a few books on our list, alongside what we’ll be wearing as we explore other places through these stories. 
 
we also want to send virtual hugs to each of you after a difficult few weeks. we’ve started down a path of listening, learning and reforming so that we can move forward as an inclusive brand. for more on our pledge to do better and advocate for justice, please read our latest instagram post.
