Vuori Clothing Corporate Office

After hurting his back playing football, Joe Kudla began practicing yoga to help relieve his pain. He quickly realized that women had all sorts of yoga clothing, but there was nothing for men other than sweatpants.

Kudla believes that his company’s success lies in its multi-channel approach. Offering the company’s items in retail locations, as well as on-line and via pop-up stores, Vuori opened its first brick and mortar location in late December 2020.

In August 2019, the company received $45 million in investor funding.

Tommie Copper Corporate Office

Thomas “Tommy” Kallish suffered a water skiing accident in 2009. Upset by how long his recovery took, Kallish began looking for support clothing that would help support his muscles and reduce pain.

Tommie Copper was founded in 2010. The company manufactures and designs a wide range of compression sleeves, stockings, and other support clothing for both men and women.

Each item is infused with copper, which some believe contains properties that reduce pain, especially for those with arthritis.

What was originally a clothing company has now expanded into other areas, including mattresses, face masks, and healing tape.

In December 2015, the company paid the FTC $1.35 million for false advertising claims that the copper infused into the company’s products could eliminate pain.

Tommie Copper sold some of the most popular face masks to protect from the coronavirus in 2020.

Symbol Mattress and Tommie Copper partnered in January 2020 to create a special mattress that had anti-bacterial and antimicrobial materials.

Universal Standard Clothing Corporate Office

Friends Alex Waldman and Polina Veksler were frustrated when they discovered that, due to their size differences, they were not able to shop together.

They founded Universal Standard in 2015, a clothing company that is size-inclusive, offering clothing in sizes from 0 to 40.

What began as a clothing company with only 8 items of clothing has turned into a hugely popular venue. After the online site Refinery29 wrote an article about Universal Standard, the company sold out every piece of clothing in less than one week.

Veksler states that she believes their success comes from knowledge about women’s bodies and how they differ, not just how to make a popular item in larger sizes.

Pants that are made for a size 2 cannot simply be made with a larger waist and hip room, the legs need to longer and wider as well, something most clothing manufacturers do not bother to look at.

Universal Standard was listed as #5 on GoodHouseKeeping’s 2020 list of Top 12 Sites to Buy Workout Clothing.

In July 2020, Universal Standard was featured in People.Com.

Vogue Business also noted that Universal Standard has changed the clothing and apparel business forever.

Verillas Corporate Office

Allister Greenbrier wanted to enjoy Cosplay and other unique forms of fashion, but with an LGBTQ twist. Verillas Lifestyle was founded in 2014.

The company sells a variety of goth-inspired clothing, including kilts, boots, and other types of clothing. Verillas also sells Cosplay type items, such as wings and leatherwear.

Verillas has come out with Pride (gay) inspired items every year since 2016.

While Varillas is a popular site for Cosplay fans and the LGBTQ crowd, it gained unwelcomed notoriety when the Trump-supporting group Proud Boys, showed up at a “Stop the Steal” protest event, with all participants wearing the same yellow and black kilts from Verillas.

Owners Allister Greenbrier and Justin LaRose saw at least $750 worth of clothing in the photos of the Proud Boys. They donated $1,000 to the NAACP to “redirect hate to love”. The company also retired the yellow and black kilt design.
