Women Led Wednesday Gift Guide!
Nov 23, 2024
Our guift guide to celebrate Women-Led Wednesday!
Women-Led Wednesday (like Small Business Saturday) is a purpose-driven holiday that encourages the public to shop women-led businesses to support and uplift women in leadership. When we invest in women in business, more women become empowered to be leaders themselves. Thought leaders. Philanthropic leaders. And so much more.
When we support women entrepreneurs (as well as organizations like #WOMENLEDWEDNESDAY and legislation that supports women in business), we advance innovation, economic growth, and empower women financially. It not only benefits society from a social responsibility standpoint but as an investment in a vital portion of our economy.
So join us in this joyous of movements and shop Women-Led! See some of our favorite women-owned brands below, or see the whole list by visiting the Women-Led Wednesday website!

Celebrate Women-Led Wednesday!
Thank you so much for stopping by! On a personal note...supporting small businesses through your purchases truly means the world to the people behind them. For me (Margaux), the founder of Lume Six, there’s nothing more fulfilling than hearing from customers who find their perfect sports bra with us. It’s a reminder of why I do what I do, and it fills me with gratitude every time.
When you choose to shop with small, women-owned businesses, you're not just making a purchase—you’re making a real difference in someone’s life. And let’s be honest, women deserve better in so many ways—not just in sports bras! So, whether it’s Lume Six or another woman-led brand, you’re earning two gold stars in our books. 😊
