rat boi U
Rat boi was built on a dream, and now we want to support the dreams of those who support our brand. Our class of 2024 dreamers are helping us kick off our Southern California college tour, where we will pop up at universities to spread awareness about ethical consumption, and share our ethically made pieces. Get to know our dreamers below and see more video content on our instagram and tiktok.
Rat boi University aims to connect with students by providing them with an opportunity to interact in person, ask questions, and explore a slow fashion business run by women in Southern California.
Through #ratboiU, students have a platform to engage in meaningful conversations and voice their aspirations for themselves, their communities, and the planet post-graduation. As the next generation of dreamers, you have the potential to make a significant impact on our environment and the world. Rat Boi is here to inspire and support you on this journey!
