Michelle Obama Launches Book Tour Merchandise Covered in Her Most Inspirational Quotes
Michelle Obama‘s highly-anticipated new memoir, Becoming, officially hits shelves today, and to coincide with its launch and the start of her 10-city speaking tour, she’s giving fans something even more to love — a 25-piece line of inspirational merchandise.
The former first lady, 54, announced that she’s launching an American-made line of clothes, mugs, pins, notebooks, candles and tote bags covered in her own motivational messages related to her new book.
Feel-good quotes including, “Find your voice,” “Excellent from the start” and her infamous line, “They go low, we go high,” are on mugs, pencils, pins, infant onesies and a cute collection of womenswear including the tees, jackets and sweatshirts, pictured below.
In designing the collection, Obama was inspired by Kailua Blue, which was first featured on the White House’s official Obama State China and the natural tones from the White House Kitchen Garden.
The full collection (available today) will be sold at all tour stops and at becomingmichelleobamashop.com. Additionally, all of the net proceeds will be donated to Global Girls Alliance projects to support female education initiatives throughout the world.

For the full PEOPLE interview with Michelle Obama, including intimate details of her new laid-back life with Barack, pick up the new issue on newsstands Friday.
According to Obama, her new memoir is “candid and honest and open” and covers topics including marital struggles to her husband, Barack Obama, pregnancy difficulties and President Donald Trump.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, she explained why she got so open and honest in the book. “Because we’re role models, it’s important for us to be honest and say, if you’re in a marriage and there are times you want to leave, that’s normal — because I felt that way,” Obama told PEOPLE.
