Everyone knows that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has a signature “dissent” collar that she wears to show the world how she really feels about a particular decision, be it on the bench or after an election. The collar is so iconic that it’s been styled into a necklace by various vendors, but wouldn’t you like to own the real thing?
Say no more, because Banana Republic has heard your pleas and is decided to re-issue its original “dissent collar” necklace in limited quantities donate and will donate 50 percent of the purchase price to the American Civil Liberties Union Women’s Rights Project which was co-founded by Justice Ginsburg early in her career.

The dissent collar costs $98 and is available for pre-sale today and will formally launch on bananarepublic.com starting on Tuesday, January 15. Good luck trying to purchase this fashion piece in homage to RBG — we imagine it’ll sell out quickly.
UPDATE (01/08 11:15 a.m.): As expected, the Banana Republic dissent collar is already sold out. We’ve been in touch with their public relations team and will have an update as soon as possible as to whether they’ll be restocked. Be patient, please.

The response to our Dissent Collar necklace has been tremendous – and heartwarming. In just a few hours, we pre-sold all units of the necklace that were made in limited edition for January delivery. Given the overwhelming response, we are working quickly to create additional quantities. Please DM @bananarepublic your email address if you’re interested in a necklace when we restock.
