Founded in 2010 by Michael Preysman, who left his job in venture capital to start Everlane, Preysman followed his passion for great design, fueled by his frustration at lack of innovation in the retail space. With a young team of industry professionals boasting backgrounds from high street fashion design, to cutting edge graphic design, the group is split between two offices, one in San Francisco, and the other in Los Angeles. Never the less their biggest customer base remains in New York City.
