thredUP Corporate Office

Thredup was founded in 2009 as an online peer to peer men’s clothing swap. After a few test runs, the company moved on to men’s, women’s, and children’s used clothing and shoes.

Today, Thredup is the largest online consignment and thrift “store”. Clients can shop by brand, size, or price. The company offers “Clean Out Bags”, where clients can put clothing, shoes, and accessories they wish to sell. The bag is mailed to the company, which offers cash or store credit for wanted items. Items are guaranteed to be flaw free, stain free, functional (with working zippers and no missing buttons), as well as fashionable.

In July 2018, the company penned a scathing letter, criticizing Burberry, who burned $37 million worth of clothing to prevent the possible imitation of their brands.

The company warehouse is located in San Leandro, California, while headquarters are now located in San Francisco, California.

Madewell Corporate Office

Madewell was founded in 1937 by Russian immigrant Julius Kivowitz. The company originally made workwear for men, such as overall, jeans, and pants for fishermen. Today, the company is owned by J. Crew and makes fashionable clothing for women.

The company continued to make workwear items for decades until the last American factory closed in 1989. Mickey Drexler, the former CEO of J. Crew, purchased the rights to the name and sold it to J. Crew in 2006. The company moved the brand away from work clothing to fashion clothing. Currently, J. Crew is a struggling brand, while Madewell is quite popular.

Madewell offers denim jeans, jackets and other denim items, dresses, shirts and tops, chambray, sweaters, tees, pants and shorts, jackets and outerwear, skirts, sleepwear, swimming wear, shoes and boots, bags, and jewelry.

ThredUp and Madewell have partnered to open stores that offer second-hand, quality clothing items in September 2021.

The first ThredUp and Madewell store opened in Brooklyn, New York, in late September 2021.

Headquarters are now located in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Lulus.Com Corporate Office

Lulus was founded in 1996 by mother and daughter team Debra Cannon and Colleen Winter. The pair opened a small clothing store, then took over a shoe store next door. The shoe store did not survive, but it eventually morphed into Lulus.Com, an online clothing store.

The company still maintains their storefront, but it’s the eCommerce site that really thrives. With more than 1 million registered customers, the company shipped almost a quarter million orders in 2010 and a half a million orders around the world in 2013. The storefront continues to expand as other businesses close but the online store continues to occupy most of the 100 employees time.

Lulus.Com was listed as #13 on Ranker’s list of Top Womens Online Clothing Sites. Headquarters are located in Chico, California. The Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ rating.

In 2014, HIG Growth Partners invested in Lulu’s as they expect the company to become one of the leading fashion E-retailers.
