Description

In celebration of Pride Month, Playboy partnered with iconic skateboarder Leo Baker for this original limited-edition tote bag. Baker has dedicated themselves to advocating for equity and inclusion in skateboarding and beyond. They founded the NYC Skate Project, which is an effort to shift the dynamics in skateboarding and create a safe space for non-male skaters to build community with each other.

Whenever possible, I want to use my platform to drive change and to support communities who need it which is why it was important for me to work on this collection. The AIDS crisis was neglected for so long; it s not possible to make up for lives lost during the rise of the epidemic. The least we can do is donate money to neglected and underrepresented communities, and this is an easy way to get money into the hands of organizations helping those in need.It would be cool to see companies consistently donating funds to organizations like these. All year round, not just in pride month! Also, big corporations could make an impact on the lives of LGBTQ+ communities if they put money towards policy change.
