Charity: Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth Facing Homelessness
At Nasty Pig, giving back is core to our mission. We’re proud to partner with the Ali Forney Center, a leading nonprofit working to protect LGBTQ+ youth from homelessness and empower them with the resources they need to live independently.
Our ongoing contributions include:
-
Hosting signature fundraising events like Shred of Hope and SCRATCH
-
Sponsorship of the annual A Place at the Table Gala
-
Donating Nasty Pig apparel to help youth stay warm, confident, and supported
Through these efforts, we raise both funds and awareness for LGBTQ+ youth in need.

Sustainability: Responsible Fashion That Lasts
In an age of fast fashion and waste, Nasty Pig stands for durability, quality, and conscious design. We believe that clothing shouldn't be disposable — it should be built to last.
Our commitment to sustainable fashion includes:
-
Designing and producing our own fabrics and trims to ensure longevity
-
Enforcing high-quality construction standards across all products
-
Creating garments meant to be worn for years, not discarded after a season
We’re proud to offer gear that looks bold, feels great, and helps reduce environmental impact.
Accountability: Ethical Manufacturing From NYC to Our Global Partners
At Nasty Pig, we believe in ethical manufacturing and fair labor — both at home and abroad.
Here’s how we support our people:
-
Competitive wages in the New York fashion industry
-
Commission opportunities, full health benefits, and 401K plans
-
A creative, inclusive workplace where queer voices are valued
Internationally, we work only with certified factories that provide safe, clean working conditions. Our production team visits overseas vendors twice a year to monitor labor practices and ensure that all Nasty Pig products are ethically made — never outsourced without oversight.
