These bags are more than fashion pieces , they are artifacts of a cultural moment and a symbol of what happens when women are given both the tools and the training to protect themselves and those they love. Supporting Empowered2A allows the impact of Project Gunway to continue long after the event, helping more women gain access to the training, community, and confidence they deserve.

Empowered2A partnered with us during Project Gunway as a mission-aligned organization dedicated to supporting women in the firearms community. During the event, Empowered2A helped spotlight incredible women from across the country, covering the red carpet, sharing their stories, and highlighting the diversity, professionalism, and confidence of women who train, carry, and advocate responsibly.

After the runway lights dim, the real work continues. Women entering the firearms space need ongoing support, access to training, welcoming range environments, and educational opportunities that build real confidence and competence. That is where Empowered2A’s work becomes critical.

This is why Cakes is donating the net proceeds from this couture auction to Empowered2A.
