Rare Breed Women's Shorts

Stand out in style — and stand together — with our Rare Breed capsule. Every piece features hand-crafted designs inspired by the tenacity and spirit of individuals living with rare diseases. Wear your heart on your sleeve and shine a light on resilience.

Remember, rare is many. There are officially over 10,000 rare diseases worldwide. Yet nearly 90–95% of them have no FDA‑approved treatment, meaning most patients navigate illness through symptom management, not cures.

Rare ≠ alone.

We chose the name “Rare Breed” as a double entendre: It honors both those living with rare diseases globally and amplifies the resilience, swag, and spark of the chronically ill community. It’s a movement as much as it is a collection.

Butterflies in four colors — pink, green, blue, and purple — fill each piece, reflecting the official Rare Disease Day palette and lighting up the cause with unity, visibility, and hope.

Why It Matters
Rare diseases affect 300 million people worldwide — conditions often overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood. With Rare Breed, you’re not just wearing beautiful, thoughtful art; you’re fueling awareness, advocacy, and impact.
