The IKEA Pride collection is made up of three houseware items that tout the classic rainbow theme. The collection consists of The STORSTOMMA Bag, the STORSTOMMA Shopping Bag, and the ENEBY Front for IKEA's Bluetooth speaker. Both STORSTOMMA bags are made from durable polypropylene and are easy to clean and store. The ENEBY Front is made from plastic and polyester and has a textured pattern that offers a comfortable, friendly look.
30% of the proceeds from the sale of the IKEA Pride collection will go towards GLSEN, a non-profit that supports LGBTQ+ students. GLSEN aims to create safe, affirming environments for queer elementary and high school students. With bright colors and classic designs, the IKEA Pride collection empowers people to be themselves.
