About

SAINT SEBASTIAN is here to change the world one T-shirt at a time. With historical references to powerful queer symbols, we aim to increase visibility for us and our allies.

THE PINK TRIANGLE
The collection proudly features the pink triangle. The symbol was once used to mark homosexuals, trans women and sex workers but what was once a symbol of persecution has become an icon of resistance, solidarity, and strength.

SAINT SEBASTIAN
Our name, Saint Sebastian, originates from a 3rd-century religious martyr who survived execution by arrows. In art, he is depicted as a beautiful, vulnerable man - imagery that has long resonated with gay men. Today, Saint Sebastian stands as a symbol of queer endurance: a man who survives despite all efforts to silence him.

MADE IN EUROPE
Our clothing is made in Portugal using organic cotton - even our labels are woven from organic cotton. The SAINT SEBASTIAN hang tags are completely plastic-free and fully recyclable, including the paper string. Each garment is packed in a recycled plastic bag and shipped in a recycled paper envelope. As we grow, we will continue to develop and place high priority in sourcing ethically and limiting our environmental impact, as best we can.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
For every item sold - we donate €1 to The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and Intersex Youth & Student Organisation (IGLYO).

We’ve chosen to support IGLYO because it is a leading organization dedicated to LGBTQI youth and students under the age of 30. Operating in over 40 countries across Europe, IGLYO works to advance the rights of LGBTQI young people, promote equality and inclusion, and amplify their voices.
