From our products to our employees, it is our mission at Motorola to always make people feel empowered, supported and included. And this Pride Month is no different as we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community through a unique partnership between motorola razr and the luxury fashion house, The Blonds. The duo has teamed up for Pride 2022 to create a custom, limited-edition couture lanyard, with all proceeds benefiting New York City Anti-Violence Project.

Inspired by the iconic motorola razr, the couture lanyard acts as a chic, hands-free phone accessory and is available in three razr-inspired colorways, blush gold, silver and black. 

The limited-edition couture lanyard brings forth The Blonds signature crystal look, while nodding to the sleek design of the motorola razr. Say goodbye to forgetting your phone at home, and say hello to a couture accessory that will help elevate any look, while keeping your device close and personal for easy access to all your smartphone needs. 

The limited-edition couture lanyard is available for purchase on theblondsny.com/razrPride.

Partnership with a purpose

The most unique and meaningful aspect of this partnership is the support and recognition of the LGBTQIA+ community, with all proceeds of the limited-edition couture lanyard benefitting the New York City Anti-Violence Project.

Founded in 1980, the New York City Anti-Violence Project empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV-affected communities and allies to end all forms of violence through organizing and education, and supports survivors through counseling and advocacy. Learn more at AVP.org.
