What turns a group of people into a community? Shared experiences, a knowing remark, a sense of kinship that overcomes vast (and virtual) distances. In moments of mourning, an understanding deeper than words can go. In times of celebration, a beaming pride, as if it were always your own.

With the launch of the ABG Collective, we wanted to create a tangible representation of the common threads that weave us all together. From break-ups to meet-cutes, job transitions and career triumphs, skincare recs, and the best Asian restaurants around town, you know we’ve got your back. ABGs and ABBs around the world, this one’s for you.
