Society Nine is for Badass Women February 18, 2015

Society Nine is Kickstarting a line of apparel for female fighters which includes gloves, and hoodies.

I just got punched in the face by this new company I discovered – and I liked it!

Recently, I was checking out some of the projects on Kickstarter (since my own company’s Kickstarter, I have become a closet crowd-funding junkie) and saw this young lady from Portland announce her company’s goal to raise funds for fight wear for women. Lynn Le is her name, and Society Nine is her game.

But this isn’t a game to her. In fact, she started her company only a short time ago and has tenaciously worked to get in front of the Portland Development Commission and win the Startup PDX Challenge. Society Nine is “a brand for fierce, badass women,” according to the website.  “A badass woman is a fighter in life: in sport, society and culture. She’s fiercely independent, athletically tenacious and fashionably daring.”

What is there not to like about this! I feel like Lynn is the fighter sister to The Abingdon Co. I have long had dreams to bring in the fight world to The Abingdon Co. and Lynn has the right attitude and style for it. I love how she combines the strength of fighting with the femininity of the women who want her products. It’s clean, it’s sharp, it’s empowering, and it embraces all women.

I’m cheering on Society Nine and have funded them on their current Kickstarter which is in its last week to create fighter apparel (everything from hoodies and scarves, to rash guards and gloves – all designed for a woman’s body of course). I am not being endorsed by this company – I just want to support them and believe in what they’re doing. I have no doubt they will succeed and I’m looking forward to getting my new rash guard.

And Lynn, after you get your Kickstarter funded, let’s talk about a fight watch. Black with Rose Gold, I think…
