A MESSAGE FROM “ASTR THE LABEL”
Cute, trendy clothes that make every day feel like an occasion? That’s ASTR the Label.
Since 2012, ASTR the Label’s female-led collective has committed itself to creating confidence-boosting clothing that inspires you to celebrate the little things in life. While they specialize in occasion wear dresses, you’ll find on-trend tops, sets, and outerwear in their seasonal collections that are designed with love from Los Angeles, California 🌞
We love ASTR the Label so much that we even hosted a sip & shop with them for our community last week! Everyone who attended got exclusive access to their store in Century City, free wine from Fallen Grape, and a discount on all purchases made. Everything we were wearing and more of our favorite looks from their new collection is here 👗
Couldn’t make it to the sip & shop? No worries. You can use code CAMBER-15 to get 15% off your purchase!
👋 OH HEY 👋
Mads here! Special announcement time. We looove how passionate you are about what we’re building here at Camber, and we heard your pleas to get more involved. And now you can! Introducing…CAMBASSADORS!
Are you THAT friend that everyone goes to for LA recs? Do you spend all your free time trying out new restaurants and coffee shops? Are you super familiar with the Camber brand? Well then, we want to hear from YOU 🫵
We’ll be bringing on 3-5 Cambassadors to create video content, memes, and put on community events with us. This will be different than a traditional contracted part-time position because in addition to monthly payouts, you get access to exclusive dinners & events with the Camber team, freebies from our partners, and the opportunity to be involved in a fast-growing community.
To start, we’re looking for content & meme Cambassadors. All information on the program and how to apply can be found here. We can’t wait to meet you!
Okay, now on to the coolest things to do in LA this week.
