Politics at Work. Indeed.

We’ve all heard it before: “Leave politics at the door.” But at Fancy, we’re flinging that door wide open. Fancy was founded to do one thing: make things better for women. That means we cannot, and will not, stay silent about political issues that deeply affect us, the women we work with, and the clients and consumers we represent. Here’s why.

First, let’s be honest about why we’re told to keep politics out of business. For most of us, and especially for women, it's not about protecting some higher, sacred order of neutrality. It’s a tactic used to discourage us from voicing our opinions, from standing for change, and from taking bold action. And who does this silence benefit? Not the women who are fighting to keep and regain control over their healthcare, those working for fair treatment, or the ones trying to secure a voice in decision-making.

At Fancy, we’re inherently political. As a business that serves women, employs women, and is run by women, we care deeply about how policy impacts women’s day-to-day lives. We have to. I can’t separate “politics” from who I am, the work we do, or the way I run this company. And I don’t want to.

This is why we choose to support Kamala Harris. She is a candidate who has consistently fought for women’s rights, stands firm on protecting healthcare, and values women’s lives and contributions. We support her not only because her policies align with our values but because these decisions impact every part of who we are and what we do. Supporting Kamala Harris is a matter of purpose and a commitment to a future that respects and protects women’s voices.

We fundamentally believe that what’s better for women is better for the world. Fancy was built to elevate women, to empower them as consumers, leaders, and creative forces. This means supporting leaders, like Kamala Harris, who will stand up for them and pave the way for a future we’re proud to pass on to the next generation.

We are not going back.
