Summer is here and that means hanging out in the sun! There is no better binder on the market for hot summer days lounging around a pool/watering hole. We specifically designed our binders for comfort and fun in the sun • Bareskin Binders are back this weekend at flavnt.com— Saturday June 2 at noon (12 p.m.) CST. Mark your calendars, set an alarm and stash some cash, because they’re here!!!
• We’re sorry that they took a little while, but we had some expansion and improvements to make. Our binders are now available in 5 colors and in sizes XXS - XXL and we’ve switched up our inner lining material to something we like a little better than what we were using before.
And that’s a WRAP! Our #supportblair fundraiser has officially concluded and it was our most successful fundraiser thus far at $2785 raised! Thank you to @otto-rocket for being an amazing partner and representing our brand better than we could ever have asked for and thank you to each and every one of you that purchased during her campaign. Your support is what makes this possible! ❤️ we will make an announcement when we are opening up applications for our next partner, but until then we are going to take a breather to focus on finishing up production on our next run of Bareskin Binders and dropping some exciting new products! ✌️
Coming out of the binary and I’m doing JUST FINE (¿?) I mean mostly, it’s a wild ride sometimes but I kinda like roller coasters so that’s convenient • Happy trans day of visibility to all trans and nonbinary folk!! We out here being valid and cute af. Every damn day but especially on this one ❤ they/them
Shout out to @waltzing-all-night for putting up with my annoying ass and taking photos of me
Happy #transdayofvisibility everyone! Today is also my #shotday I would not be here today were it not for my support system and for the people I have seen be #transparent and #unapologeticallyqueer . It is important to be visible because I have the luxury of safety. I know first hand how much it means to see someone that you can identify with be out in the world and doing okay. You can be trans and safe, trans and happy, trans and healthy, trans and employed, trans and loved. It’s not easy, but transitioning and becoming more yourself is without a doubt worth it. So whether you’re cis or trans remember: Trans people are everywhere. We have aways been here. We aren’t going away.
As some of you know, FLAVNT is based in Austin, TX – a queer little oasis in the heart of the South. We love it here besides the things you’d expect an LGBTQ clothing line to dislike about the Conservative Lone Star State. For example, it’s Summer 9 months of the year, the beers are cheap, we have access to tons of Mexican food, our San Antonio Spurs are close by, and most of the people are friendly. Another thing we love about Austin is the love for small business in the community down here, mom and pop shops are praised, brands with a cause are sought after, and there’s always a queer party or two going on that hits our demographic.
All of this lead up is to talk about the Austin Chronicle’s Annual “Best Of Austin” list. Locals get to nominate businesses, establishments, brands, individuals, public figures, etc. for different awards and then you get to brag about being crowned the Best at whatever you do for the rest of the year!
FLAVNT wasn’t up for any awards, we didn’t particularly fit any of the categories for which to be nominated, but we did get some individual nominations (Chris was up for best local YouTuber and our brunch page @abrunchofqueers on IG was up for Best Local Instagram). So you’d imagine we were a little surprised when we were scrolling through the winners, congratulating our friends on the wins they got, scribbling down names of restaurants we are now dying to try, when we got to the Critic’s Choice portion of the awards and saw our name!!
We ended up being named Austin’s “Best Way to Flavnt Your Pride”, which means that someone on the Chronicle or one of their contributors found us and thought what we were doing or our designs (or both) were cool enough to make up our very own category. We are so proud, humbled, and happy to be Austin’s local fave queer brand.
