Everlane

Everlane is an American clothing retailer specializing in minimalist, direct-to-consumer fashion. The company was founded in 2010 by Michael Preysman and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Everlane's core philosophy centers around "Radical Transparency," which involves disclosing the true cost of their products, including materials, labor, and transportation. They aim to show customers the markup on traditional retail, arguing that their prices are fairer due to cutting out the middleman and selling directly to consumers.

Everlane offers a range of apparel, accessories, and footwear for both men and women. Their product lines typically feature classic, timeless designs made with sustainable materials like organic cotton, recycled plastic, and ethically sourced wool. The company also emphasizes responsible factories and works to partner with factories that prioritize worker welfare and environmental protection.

In addition to its online presence, Everlane operates a limited number of physical retail stores located in select cities. The company has faced criticism and scrutiny regarding its transparency claims and labor practices over the years, requiring them to adapt and refine their messaging and approach. While initially lauded for its disruptive model, Everlane now navigates the complexities of maintaining its brand identity while addressing evolving consumer expectations and industry challenges.
