Awe Inspired
Awe Inspired is a jewelry brand co-founded by three-time breast cancer survivor Jill Johnson and her son Max Johnson, who is a member of the LGBTQ community and takes pride in creating beautiful pieces inspired by important queer figures in mythology like Sappho and Achilles, as well as real-life queer icons like Marsha P. Johnson.
The unique pieces are crafted from high-quality, heirloom-level materials, each featuring a icon or design that's sure to spark conversation from admirers. The Mini Goddess Pendants are some of the brand's bestsellers and let you choose which goddess you most identify with, including options like Athena, Medusa and Hecate.
Portions of the sales of Awe Inspired products contribute to the brand's commitment to making charitable donations, but one special page on the website lets you peruse specific designs that, when purchased, contribute an automatic $10 donation to the charity of your choice, one of which is the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education network.
OLAH and Lost Pattern
Olah and Lost Pattern are two brands by one founder, Yong Wang, and bring you the perfect silk accessories to complete your look while feeling fabulous against your skin and hair.
Lost Pattern focuses on highly stylish scarves manufactured from 100% silk in New York City, several of which have been worn by the likes of Drew Barrymore and Halle Berry. Each piece is a wearable work of art that stands the test of time and trends, so consider gifting yourself or your favorite fashionista one of these special scarves.
Olah focuses on hair accessories also crafted from silk, which is not only beautiful but also prevents breakage and other hair damage due to the soft nature of the fabric. The designs are feminine and flirty, and the brand recently released the Olah x Mimi Tao Trans Pride collection featuring soft pastel pink and blue pieces, from which half the proceeds will benefit the Translatina Network, which offers valuable support to some of the most vulnerable members of the LGBTQ community.
