Silicon Valley Bank has collapsed, but branded company gear such as socks, hats and wine tumblers are selling like crazy.
Soon after the
second-biggest bank failure last week, people who owned SVB swag—and some people who didn’t—got to work. They listed merchandise that was once free at job fairs and company events for sometimes hundreds of dollars on eBay, Etsy and other online retailers. Other people have been making shirts or other swag poking fun at the collapse, hoping to capitalize on the hype.
