History

Wearwell was born out of the shared experiences of its co-founders, Erin and Emily, who collectively spent two decades working in international development. Their journey led them to work with Fortune 500 companies, incorporating responsible practices into their business models and leading impact programs with nonprofits across multiple countries. This wealth of experience ultimately fueled the creation of Wearwell. This platform aims to facilitate the purchase of ethical and sustainable products while supporting brands dedicated to making a positive impact on garment workers and the environment.
