StyleSaint builds an online-only luxury brand that integrates content, community, and commerce for women’s fashion. The company has launched its first apparel collection, financed by a recently closed Series A, with pieces priced between $30 and $200. StyleSaint says it achieves lower prices by cutting out traditional third-party brick-and-mortar stores and producing ethically manufactured garments in Los Angeles at factories used by Rag & Bone, ALC, and Maison Martin Margiela. Its platform includes a self-publishing community and virtual “tear sheets”; the site has more than 110,000 subscribers, 45,000 active content publishers, and 438 editors. The founders position the business to capture a shift away from fast fashion toward timeless, transparently made products. The company currently operates with six full-time staff and used the Series A proceeds to finance the apparel launch.
