Universal Standard’s New Sample Sale Benefits Planned Parenthood
What’s better than a sample sale? A sample sale that raises money for a cause you care about, of course! Size-inclusive clothing brand Universal Standard is teaming up with Planned Parenthood for a truly epic sample sale of their simple, classic designs, including everything from gowns to cardigans to skinny jeans, and you don’t want to miss out.
Universal Standard is the most size-inclusive retailer for women worldwide, with offerings ranging from size 00 to size 40, and this is their very first sample sale ever. The sale features some of their most popular items, including the Geneva Dress, an adorable, casual-yet-chic T-shirt dress, the high-rise Seine skinny jeans (reduced to $48 from $80!), and their “Foundation Collection” of everyday basics, including a classic striped tee — a true wardrobe workhorse if we’ve ever seen one. Prices have been slashed to up to 75% off, and 50% of profits will go directly to Planned Parenthood.
Why do we love this event so much? Universal Standard and Planned Parenthood’s missions are strikingly similar. Both the clothing brand and the healthcare provider believe in giving every person access to the things they need, whether that’s well-fitting jeans or a pelvic exam. Plus, with many states considering legislation that could completely ban abortion access entirely, it’s more important than ever to support organizations like Planned Parenthood who work to keep abortion access safe, legal, and accessible to all.
“As a brand, we believe in access, and above all else, we are on a mission to make sure all of us are represented, as we are. Planned Parenthood provides the most vital access – information, education, resources, and treatment to help people live healthy lives,” said Universal Standard CEO Polina Veksler. “We stand for the things we believe in, and today we stand with Planned Parenthood.”
“We want to live in a world where people are celebrated for their unique differences. Universal Standard is breaking barriers that limit individual expression – and they’re doing it with extraordinary style,” said Laura McQuade, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood New York City. “Planned Parenthood of New York City is lucky is have Universal Standard as a fierce supporter in our fight to protect sexual & reproductive freedom. Together we will make quality, affordable health care the universal standard for all people.”
