Rainbow Laces and Beyond: Pinkswag’s New Partnership with Stonewall UK

Bold Collaboration for Bold Change

Who Is Pinkswag?

Pinkswag is more than a fashion brand, it's a movement. Known for its queer, inclusive, and empowering designs, Pinkswag has become a staple in the UK’s LGBTQ+ apparel scene. Built on values of identity, pride, and visibility, the brand creates bold merchandise that speaks directly to the community it serves.

With a vibrant online presence and growing reputation for quality and authenticity, Pinkswag continues to fuse culture, representation, and creativity through fashion.

About Stonewall UK

Founded in 1989, Stonewall has led the charge for LGBTQ+ equality in the UK. From advancing marriage equality to fighting workplace discrimination, Stonewall remains a cornerstone of advocacy.

One of its most iconic initiatives is the Rainbow Laces campaign, which challenges homophobia in sports and promotes allyship through visible support.

The Official Merch Partnership Unveiled

What This Partnership Means

In 2026, Pinkswag became the official merchandise production and fulfilment partner for Stonewall UK. This landmark partnership means Pinkswag is now exclusively responsible for producing and shipping Stonewall-branded products including campaign-specific items, event apparel, and year-round merchandise.

This partnership is rooted in shared values: celebration of identity, commitment to community, and driving positive impact through action.

Rainbow Laces: The First Step

To kick off this collaboration, Pinkswag now exclusively handles the Rainbow Laces line, one of Stonewall’s most recognised campaigns globally. These iconic rainbow-coloured shoelaces have become a symbol of solidarity in sports and society.

From grassroots football to Premier League matches, Rainbow Laces have amplified the message that “Everyone is welcome.” Now, with Pinkswag at the helm, this message continues, louder and more stylish than ever.

What’s Coming: Merch With a Message

Expanding the LGBTQ+ Merch Ecosystem

While Rainbow Laces marks the beginning, the partnership promises a full pipeline of LGBTQ+ affirming merchandise. Upcoming collections are expected to include:

  • Year-round Pride fashion drops
  • Limited-edition event merch
  • Gender-inclusive apparel and accessories
  • Ally-focused lines to spread the message beyond the queer community

Sustainable, Ethical, Inclusive

Pinkswag is also setting the standard for responsible merchandising. The brand prioritises:

  • Ethically sourced materials
  • Eco-conscious packaging
  • Size inclusivity and gender-neutral fits
  • Authentic representation in product imagery and messaging
  • Eco Shipping, Tree Planting and Carbon capture on all order. 

Community Response and Cultural Impact

Voices from the LGBTQ+ Community

The community response has been overwhelmingly positive. Influencers, queer creators, and activists have praised the partnership for centring real voices and values. By partnering with a brand from within the community, Stonewall UK has ensured authenticity, representation, and trust.

Pinkswag isn’t just making merch, it’s creating tools for visibility and pride.

Elevating Pride Beyond June

This partnership champions Pride 365, making LGBTQ+ identity visible and celebrated every day, not just in June. Whether it’s showing support with Rainbow Laces tee at work or gifting a pronoun pin to a friend, the merch makes allyship accessible year-round.
