Angel City Football Club (ACFC) and one of its founding partners, the payment and shopping platform Klarna, have launched a small collection for women’s sports called Un Nuevo Amanecer (A New Dawn). The windbreaker, bucket hat and fanny pack were designed by Suay Sew Shop of Los Angeles and are made of upcycled and recycled materials. Each item also incorporates a patch of fabric from the tifo (“visual display by a team’s supporters of any choreographed flag, sign, or banner, typically unveiled just before kick-off”) of the ACFC’s inaugural game, played on April 29.
The items were sold for 24 hours through Klarna before going on sale through AngelCity.com.
One-tenth of the sales will go towards the Downtown Women’s Center’s social enterprise, MADE by DWC Resale Boutique, which promotes a circular economy of sustainable fashion “while empowering women in Los Angeles to break the cycle of homelessness through employment.”
