Banana Republic launches “dissent collar” to support ACLU

Attention Ruth Bader Ginsburg fans: Banana Republic’s latest launch will help you emanate the justice’s look. The Gap-owned brand is re-issuing its original “dissent collar” necklace for a limited time in support of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Women’s Rights Project, which was co-founded by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg early in her career with the intention to advocate for gender equality and women’s economic rights.

Banana Republic’s dissent collar necklace takes it inspiration from a collar that Ginsburg often wears to show how she truly feels about a particular decision. Ginsburg wears a different collar for every occasion, and the dissent collar is one of her most popular. When she wears it, she signifies that she disagrees with a decision made by the Supreme Court.

The dissent collar necklace from Banana Republic is made from glass stone and brass, fitted with a velvet tie. Fifty percent of the 98-dollar purchase price will be donated to the ACLU Women’s Rights Project. The necklace is currently available for pre-order and will be officially available on January 15.

“Banana Republic is designed for life with no boundaries and equality has always been a part of our brand DNA,” said Banana Republic Chief Marketing Officer Mary Alderete in a statement. “As a brand co-founded by a woman and a company that continues to empower strong women, we want to show our appreciation and support to those who are using their voices to champion equality every day.”
