WHO ARE WE?
We are part of the dissidence.
So while some celebrate Pride for one little month a year (if we’re lucky), we live our pride 365 days a year.
When our labels are used as insults, we wear them loud and clear on our backs.
When some deny our diversity, we build family and flood the streets.
We are The Valid Club, and we want you to know this:
minorities, when they come together, become a majority.
This is an embrace for everyone who has ever felt outside.
Outside the space.
Outside the norm.
Outside the story.
This is for you.
Because you are valid.
Because you deserve to exist with joy and without apologies.
Because minorities, when they unite, become unstoppable.
And because the struggle — when shared — weighs a little less.
The Big Gang
This project was born out of necessity.
Of shouting, of healing, of finding a place.
To create what I would have needed as a child.
A refuge, a hug, a sign of "you're okay here."
We don't just sell t-shirts. We create community.
We do politics with love, with humor, and with anger too.
We fight against the void left by exclusion and silence.
—Pat Garrido, founder of The Valid Club
A safe space
Struggle
Our mission will always be the fight for the vindication of human rights, the emancipation of others, and the repudiation of violence and any type of abuse or discrimination. Our values are firm, and thanks to everyone who makes up this community, we learn and move forward every day toward a more equitable and just world.
Environmental awareness
We screen print our 100% cotton t-shirts and sweatshirts in Barcelona. Our short-term commitment is to invest in and innovate more and more with materials and our shipping system to reduce our environmental impact as much as possible. It's a long road, and that's why we've already begun.
We donated to the cause
We either stay together or we don't. We donate 5% of every sale to an LGBTQ+ organization to give people in need the support they deserve. Stick around, because together we'll find an association.
Design
Finally, and we don't think it's wrong to say it to ourselves: We design luxury, with purpose, and with a message. This isn't about slapping a rainbow flag on something and selling like hotcakes. No. This is about designing with love because love is what we deserve.
How do we make our t-shirts?
