FLAVNT Streetwear
FLAVNT is run by identical twins Courtney and Chris Rhodes, a cis lesbian and a trans man. They sell mostly tee shirts, with some pins, stickers, and hats as well. Their most famous item is the bareskin binder, which is a binder made with swimming in mind. While no binder is safe for strenuous activity, the bareskin binder is made to be breathable and is safer than most binders to wear in water. It also, as you may have guessed by the name, is coloured to look like bare skin. It currently comes in five different skin tones, ranging from "rose" to "umber," and costs $50 in USD.
NerdyKeppie
NerdyKeppie is an etsy shop run out of Pennsylvania. It is owned by Mandy and Stephen Perry with help from their daughter Cat: a pair of disabled, poly, bi/pansexual, genderfluid Jews and their trans lesbian teenager. They sell all sorts of apparel, from shirts to bathing suits to sports bras to shoes, printed with LGBT+ flags and other "queer" designs. They also sell designs with more nerdy subjects. Their shop promotes solidarity and pride, and has something for everyone within the LGBT+ community, as well as some without. If you can't find what you're looking for, they do custom works, too! So if you have a special flag that you want printed on your shoes, go ahead and send a request on their Etsy.
Pride Flag SD
Pride Flag SD is run by Maddy Russel, an LGBT+ flagmaker who sews her flags together from different pieces of fabric with the help of her family. Their flags are a bit on the pricey side compared to some you might find on Amazon, but if you have 30 or 40 bucks to spend, the quality of the flags and knowing that they were made by people in the community who actually need and deserve your money may very well be worth it.
Still Bisexual
Still Bisexual is an movement to show that even once a bisexual person has chosen to date or even settle down with a partner of a certain gender, it does not make them straight or gay. The organization is specific to bisexual people, but it sells some pride merchandise for bi people, as well as some "Stop Erasing Bisexuality" erasers, which are a nice pun. These erasers cost $10 in USD for a pack of 5.
Jayne B Shea
Jayne B Shea is a bisexual woman who got irritated by being told to pick a side. She also sells pride apparel mostly for bi people, but has a larger variety of designs, and some with simple rainbows. Some of her designs make fun of common sayings, like "I swing both ways," and others feature unicorns. What LGBT+ person doesn't love unicorns?
Skyler Ray
Skyler Ray is an artist on Redbubble who is well known for a design of theirs that was stolen by Target. This design overlays different LGBT+ flags onto each letter of the word "HUMAN." They have plenty of other designs in their shop, including but not limited to HUMAN overlay with other flags or combinations.
RiotCakes
RiotCakes is run by an LGBT+ woman, Darcy, who focuses on pride and feminism. She sells a lot of rainbows and cute animals, but her less cute goal is equality by form of protest. Her feminist views are all-inclusive, with items in her shop with sayings such as "Support your sisters, not just cis-ters," which promotes acceptance for trans women in women's rights movements.
BiNetUSA
BiNetUSA, run by Faith Cheltenham, is another store that focuses primarily on bi pride. I couldn't find much information on the owner, but I think it's fair to assume that they're bi.
Raphael Morgan
Now, this store belongs to the writer, but if you haven't found a store on this list that you want to buy from yet, you might as well check it out. Run by trans man Raphael Morgan, it showcases designs made for gay, bi, ace, and trans people on a variety of different products. Other flags will be made available upon request, either by contact on Storenvy or comments here.
