Created in collaboration with Los Angeles-based, LGBTQ-owned apparel and home goods label Huntees, a collection of SPACES-branded merchandise is now available for purchase. Among the branded items being sold are a T-shirt and canvas tote bag bearing the message “The Future Is Queer,” a sentiment that resonates with SPACES, the only app to serve the entirety of the LGBTQ+ community through group-chat. 

“The SPACES Collection” includes three items, including the aforementioned T-shirt ($29.95) and tote bag ($20), plus a coffee mug ($20.95) bearing the SPACES logo and the app’s signature shade of purple.

“It was important to us that ‘The SPACES Collection’ of branded merch didn’t just slap our logo on a T-shirt and call it a day,” says Stephan Horbelt, head of SPACES business development and partnerships. “We wanted to make a statement, and ‘The Future Is Queer’ epitomizes what we’re building for queer people over on the app. We also knew that we wanted to partner with anl LGBTQ-owned business for the collab, and Huntees — a brand that is already entrenched in serving the queer community — was our first phone call.”

“We were thrilled when SPACES approached us about creating a capsule collection for the app,” says Huntees owner and founder Viktor Pelayo. “As an LGBTQ-owned business and one that primarily serves that same community, we can get behind SPACES’ goal of building a platform that actually cares about the safety and authenticity of queer people.”

All items in The SPACES Collection are available at huntees.com. Find the shirt (available in black and white) here; find the canvas tote bag here; and find the mug here. 

SPACES launched in March as a free download in the iOS App Store, with an Android release coming later this year.
