As a token of our appreciation, here's a few ways that we plan on giving back:

The Trunk Nashville: Pop-Up Shop

     When we first began our pursuit of establishing The Yacht Club Clothing Company, we had a vision that we would be able to bring fashion and entertainment from place to place. Our online store has allowed us the ability to reach a worldwide market with the potential opportunity of owning a brick-and-mortar location in the future. In the meantime, we wanted to build a trailer or truck that would allow us to open shop at events and a street corner near you. Well we made friends with The Trunk, which operates Nashville’s first fashion truck as well as a boutique located in East Nashville.

Abigail Franklin, an aspiring entrepreneur that has spent decades styling male performers including Bon Jovi, Prince, and members of Creed, started The Trunk to bring products to you versus waiting for you to come shop. We first spotted The Trunk truck among food trucks at an event, and we instantly fell in love with the concept of the fashion truck. After all, if you can sell gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and hip-hop inspired wraps from a converted service truck, then why not clothing and jewelry?

We sent her an email to let her know how much we admired her passion; suddenly, it sparked this partner-ship between our brands. In our attempt to bring fashion from place to place, The Trunk Truck & Boutique became the first retail location to carry The Yacht Club brand in Nashville. That’s not all…

In our effort to keep overhead costs low, we are constantly working on ways to bring our merchandise to you without the commitment of a storefront lease. So, The Trunk is emptying their store to set up shop at the Fashion for a Fraction event, and they are graciously allowing us to have a 2-day pop-up shop at their location.

We’ll be hosting the pop-up shop this weekend, Jan. 25^th & 26^th, located at The Shoppes on Fatherland. We’ll be showcasing new and exclusive merchandise with store discounts, food, music, and beverages.

Come fellow-ship with us as we celebrate Music, Art, Fashion & Action.

Team Human Clothing: Human Fest

As our brand grows internationally, we are continuously finding ways to become more involved in our community and take action towards the betterment of society.

In our mission to impact the world through Music, Art, Fashion, and Action, we are bringing all these elements together and hosting Human Fest at Mercy Lounge on Tuesday, November 5^th.

Human Fest will be the official release party for Team Human clothing. Team Human Clothing melds fashion and charity by donating a portion of each sale to local charities. Team Human’s mission is simple: Make it cool to make a difference. Human Fest will feature a charity raffle of limited edition Team Human merchandise signed by members of the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators. Proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Nashville based charities CarryOn Records and Linda’s Hope.

Naked Without Us

We’re excited to announce our participation with Naked Without Us at the newly renovated 12^th & Porter Nashville. Naked Without Us is a fashion show featuring 8 local designers and boutiques, also performances by The Cold Stars, Blackfoot Gypsies, The Hollywood Kills, Strooly, and more. We encourage you to join us at this special event, as a portion of the ticket sales goes to help Carry On Records.

Carry On Records is a non-profit startup founded in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City, that aims to give those currently undergoing cancer treatment the opportunity to write and record their own music in a real recording studio.

Many clinical trials have shown the benefits of music therapy for short term pain, and some studies have even suggested that music may help decrease the overall intensity of a patient's discomfort during cancer treatments such as chemo therapy.

Carry On was established by four young people from Nashville, Tennessee with a common dream: To one day give people across the country who are battling cancer the opportunity to find comfort in the music they love, and to express themselves with the music they write.

There is no better place than Music City, USA to make a dream a reality. It will start here, and with your help it can begin now.

Starting a business is an expensive task, and starting a nonprofit is no different. While Carry On does their part to minimize overhead and  reduce the general expense associated with starting a nonprofit, they need your help to make Carry On Records a reality. 100% of your donation will go directly to bottom line expenses associated with Carry On Records.

Carry On Records seeks to raise $3,000 to assist in offsetting costs associated with this phase of a startup, including critical marketing material such as a website, promotional pieces for distribution to hospitals, doctors offices and clinics, and legal expenses.

It is our goal to host a Christmas benefit concert in December featuring Carry On Records artists and benefiting Carry On Records, so that we may continue to do what we love: help people fight cancer with music.
