Ruth Bader Ginsburg has used her Supreme Court position to advocate for women's rights and equality for decades now. But in the process, the Justice has also become a style icon in her own right—namely for her many statement-making collars. To celebrate her legacy, Banana Republic is reissuing one of RBG's most famous accessories, her "dissent collar," and it's all for a good cause.

Since 2012, RBG has worn the same sparkling Banana Republic bib necklace as a sartorial way to express her disapproval. She frequently wears it whenever she disagrees with a Supreme Court decision and more notably, she also opted to wear it the day after Donald Trump was elected President in 2016. The Justice once told Katie Couric that she chose the piece as her "dissent collar" simply because it "looked fitting for dissents." (And that is why they call her the Notorious RBG, folks.)

Because we all have reason to frequently show our dissent these days, Banana Republic is reissuing the Supreme Court justice's original collar necklace for a limited time. The brand is donating 50% of proceeds from each necklace sold to the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, which was co-founded by Bader Ginsberg to advocate for gender equality and women’s economic rights.


Now available for pre-order, the $98 Notorious RBG-approved necklace has (unsurprisingly) already sold out. The good news, however, is that Banana Republic plans to produce another order of the coveted necklaces. For now, those wanting their own RBG dissent collar can DM @bananarepublic on Instagram with their email address to be added to the wait-list.
