Today I made an even more important decision:
I have decided to stop all sales of Clovis items to the public. I will be donating every piece of inventory I have left to (secondchances.org) in the hopes of helping women who aren’t as fortunate, as privileged, or as lucky as I was to have a support system, resources, or network to be as loud as I want to be about suffering abuse at the hands of a man.
Second Chances delivers free, empowering clothing to hundreds of people experiencing poverty, crisis, and housing instability in the Boston area. They do incredible work for our local community, and while Clovis has been my pride and joy for so many years, I would rather a life where I support others over being a “cool” instagram brand.
I know many of you have been waiting for new designs and restocking old favorites. Those will always be a part of me, as is this community (I don’t plan on going anywhere, but I am drawn to something greater than “looking good, feeling good” for athleisure sake.
If you’ve been here for awhile, you’ve known that’s always what I’ve touted, as a means to feel secure when you are uncertain or out of your depths.
I now see the opportunity to do this for an entire community who could benefit so greatly from something as small as “look good, feel good.” To one person, this could be everything. And to me, now, I am only called to do something great for a community I never wanted to be part of, but one I will now scream from the rooftops supporting and doing what I can to make a difference.
This is not meant to be performative, it’s just the truth. As devoted customers you deserve the right to know, and to hopefully know when you’re wearing Clovis, you’re wearing something that actually means something. That stands for something.
Please check the links in our bio if you’re interested in helping or MOVA.
Clovis will be back. It will always be here always. It will take every new form it needs to feel whole in every step of life. Because Clovis never gives up.
Thank you all,
Julia (Livs) Quinn ❤️
