Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

We love… Bella scents

Designer Bella Freud launched her debut collection of three fragrances at Harvey Nichols this week. And if smelling like Bella isn't enough, you can immerse yourself in her world with her signature jumpers and scented candles.

We're not sure about… Perspire attire

Sporting sweaty togs is not a good look, but that might be a thing of the past thanks to SmartWeave. The brand's innovative technology reroutes sweat through the fabric so it dries quicker. The result? Your pits stay stain-free, though we don't know if the same can be said of the smell.

We're buying… Super Ted

If you're about to fly off on your holidays Ted Baker has the ideal holiday accessory. Its new collection of floral luggage will be a welcome bit of colour on an otherwise boring baggage belt.

From £250, caseluggage.com

We can't wait for… In the red

Any Louboutin fan worth her heels knows the history of the red sole began with nail polish. It's perhaps not surprising then that the brand's debut beauty offering is a red nail polish. The Rouge Louboutin polish is available now with an extended collection arriving in September.

£36, christianlouboutin.com

We're saving up for... Rich clobber

Alessandra Rich is better known for her floor-sweeping red carpet numbers, but the London based designer is branching out with a Western-inspired capsule collection of ready-to-wear clothing available exclusively on net-a-porter.com.
