When I started BANDIER, I knew I was creating something for women. What I didn’t know at the time was the powerful community of women who would come together to be part of the BANDIER family — from our amazing customers to talented Studio B instructors, our internal team, and the incredible women founders behind many of the brands we carry. Today, I’m proud to say we still foster a community of powerful women — the team at BANDIER is 89% women or women identifying, with a female CEO, CFO, and President. Most importantly, we’re proud to carry over twenty women-owned brands. In honor of International Women’s Day today, I want to share a few of the up-and-coming female designers we’ve been working with.
