Brands that captivate, that inspire — that stir lasting emotional connections. These are the qualities that inspired the founding of KnitWell Group. Never before has a collection of such iconic and inspiring American fashion brands come together under one name. Combining for more than 300 years of retail fashion credibility, our brands have built an enduring legacy, which continues to grow. We generate exceptional, sustainable results and believe that how we do things matters just as much as what we do. Uniting our storied brands and the people who are passionate about them, our collective strength drives growth and unlimited opportunity. Female-founded and female-led, KnitWell Group is a proud advocate of women-driven brands, sharing an unwavering commitment to build our businesses, lift up our people and provide exceptional service to our customers.

Our assortments are unique and multi-generational, catering to the lifestyles of today’s American woman. United, we are strongest, but we also aim to grow our brands while staying true to their individual identities. We are committed to expanding a thriving retail landscape that contributes positively to people and supports the communities we serve.

Opportunity and inclusivity are at the core of our company culture. We create opportunities for associates to reach their full potential, to grow in a career they love, and to bring their authentic selves to a welcoming workplace each day.
