Independent fashion brand · 10+ locations · LA, NYC, Boston + national e-commerce and wholesale
Staud is a founder-majority fashion brand tracking toward $250M in sales across ten stores. Family offices sit on the cap table, and there's no factory list in sight for where the clothes are actually made.
The Big Picture
Staud's founders built a profitable, $250M-track business and kept majority control while taking money from Christopher Burch and a family-office consortium. Downstream, the picture thins: production in China and Italy with no factory list, no audits, and no living wage commitment. The founders answer to themselves; the supply chain remains out of view.
