Polyamory Pride Flag
The Polyamory flag represents those who engage in, desire or practice romantic and or sexual relationships with more than one partner at a time with all partners involved consentually informed of the situation. Consent and trust is a foundational cornerstone for those who identify as polyamorous, whether they are in open or deep committed non-monogamous relationships or a closed polyamorous group engaging in polyfidelity.
The practice of polyamory emphasizes the beautiful idea that with consent and trust, it is possible to experience fulfilling, meaningful, sustainable and deep relationships without exclusivity.
The term polyamory comes from two words put together. Poly comes from the word πολύς which is polus in Ancient Greek and means "many". It's from this ancient greek word that the pie symbol comes from in the flag design by Jim Evans who created the Polyamory Pride Flag in 1995. The rest of the word comes from Amor which is the latin word for love. The flag colours are representative of the community with blue for the openness and honesty of all parties within the relationships, red for the love and passion shared and black for the solidarity of those who must hide their poly self and relationships from the rest of the world. The pie symbol represents the infinite options of partners available for polyamorous people, however there are alternative versions of this flag when in 2017 the pie symbol was replaced with the infinity hearts symbol.
The Pride Fritillary ShoeWingsGive your feet wings to fly across the catwalk with these gorgeous fluttery Pride Flag coloured ShoeWings! They make excellent shoe bling for a variety of lace-up shoes such as runners, doc martins, heels and more, however if you feel they need even more bling, there's an extra eyelet at the top of each wing to attach cute bling straps or bells (available separately). This upper eyelet can also be used as an anchor point to tie your shoe art securely against your shoe for if you don't like the feeling of wings flapping as you walk, or if you buy two pairs, you can have two wings on each shoe so the inside wing can be secured to the outer wing behind the heel, making the shoe design symmetrical (which I adore) and appear as part of the shoe design itself.
Other awesome ways people have worn these... Lacing them into their corsets (which looks super adorable) Lacing them into their waist cinching laceup belts and into those vintage lace-up shirts like butterfly bowties!
