Araks
Independent lingerie and swimwear brand · 1 location · NYC: Tribeca
A lingerie and swim label stocked worldwide, sold from a single by-appointment salon in Tribeca. Founder Araks Yeramyan still owns and designs it, with no outside investors on record. The company says every garment is cut and sewn in New York.
The Big Picture
Araks has been owned and creative-directed by its founder since 2000, with no investor, acquisition, or funding round appearing in SEC filings or press. Its clothes are cut and sewn in New York by three women-owned facilities the company says it helped start, and its fabrics come from named countries with GOTS, OEKO-TEX and Global Recycled Standard certification, though it publishes no factory names and no emissions data of any kind. Araks Yeramyan answers to her customers and to nobody else.
