Hello, beautiful gay angels! Happy holigays to you and yours.
I’m so excited to introduce this years Autostraddle Store holigay merch! We’ve made you nine — YES NINE — new pieces of unbelievably perfect merch, rounding out an already tremendous selection of tees, sweatshirts, enamel pins and stickers. We have merch for the chill Autostraddle enthusiast, the dramatic dyke, the eternal bisexual, the scissoring aficionado, the undoubted queer, the non-binary babe, and everyone GAY GAY GAY. Plus, your merch purchase will help us continue to exist!
When considering our models, size inclusiveness and diverse representation of bodies is super important to us. We’re making sure that moving forward, these ideas will be the blueprint of everything that exists in the Autostraddle Store. We’ve always been committed to size inclusivity and finally suppliers have started catching up with demand to the point where now we’re able to guarantee that not just most, but every, sweatshirt and tee will go up to 3X or higher and will be modeled by at least two different body types. Additionally we know it can be hard to figure out what size to get, so in the store we’ve made bio cards like this, which tell you what size the model is wearing, plus their height, bra/binder and jean size. We’re still working on building these features out fully for new and legacy merch alike, so please be patient with us while we grow!
Another thing I’m genuinely excited about is that all of our models are Autostraddle readers! Seriously! Molly TK Adams (our photographer) had this brilliant idea a few months ago so we placed a model call on Instagram and were so lucky to connect with incredibly rad readers willing to help us out! We’ll continue to do this for future merch, so keep an eye out for the opportunity on our Instagram stories.
As always, when you buy our merch, you are directly putting money in the pockets of the Autostraddle staff, writers and contributors, SO THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US!
Now — onto these gorgeous humans wearing our gorgeous merch!
