Cofounders Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd, New York fashion executives who met studying Textile & Fiber Science at Cornell, set out to revolutionize laundry. Frustrated with costly dry cleaning bills and no good way to care for their wardrobe investments at home, they left their careers at Ralph Lauren and Chanel to develop expert solutions for people to care for their clothes as much as they care about them.
In 2004 The Laundress was founded, introducing a pioneering collection of fabric-specific products scented with sophisticated fragrances that extend the lifespan of clothing and eliminate the chemicals and cost of dry cleaning.
Today, the Laundress empowers a passionate global community to take care of the clothes they love with exceptional fabric care and cleaning expertise.
