Golden Gems

Golden Gems is a lifestyle brand that designs and sells accessories, apparel, stationary goods, and home decor. All of their products exude our mission of inspiring and empowering you to live unapologetically, take up space and live life on your own terms.

Thier mission states, "We're here to AMPLIFY our community's diverse feminine and queer power by raising awareness for causes that impact women and the LGBTQ+ community in St. Louis and beyond. We're here to CELEBRATE individuality, authenticity, femininity, diversity, and inclusion. Life isn't easy, so let's make it fun. We do this by designing and making products that subtly remind you to be bold and boldly remind everyone that you are here. Let's make cool shit, take no shit, and have a damn good time while doing it! You're a fucking gem."

They also opened their one-of-a-kind disco dive bar, Hidden Gem, just two doors down from their flagship Locust HQ in Midtown St. Louis. The bar features 300 disco balls above the dance floor, and offers an inclusive space for the surrounding community.
