At marie claire, we’ve been campaigning to close the gender pay gap for 15 years. While the gap is slowly decreasing – currently 14.6 per cent, down from 15.3 per cent in 2017 – it’s not moving fast enough: at this rate, it will be another 100 years before women are paid the same as their male counterparts.
As part of our ongoing campaign, this year we thought we’d offer you a little sweetener: marie claire is bringing together 30 of your favourite brands to offer a discount equal to the pay gap percentage for the duration of Equal Pay Day, this Friday, August 31st.
You’ll receive 15 per cent off brands including Cue, Veronika Maine, Dion Lee, The Iconic, Sass & Bide, Alice McCall, Ginger & Smart, Manning Cartell, Parlour X, Peter Alexander, One Teaspoon, Jac + Jack, Spell & The Gypsy Collective, Napoleon Perdis, Benefit, The Daily Edited, SENSO, Fashion BNKR, Stylerunner, Hard To Find, First Base, Glamazon, Wittner, Senso, My Chameleon, SAND & SKY, Thomas Sabo and Bellabox.
Because the above list is pretty overwhelming even for the seasoned shopper, the marie claire editors have picked the pieces they’ll be splurging on – no judgement if you add ’em all to your cart too.Â
