Today, we keep five commitments at the heart of everything we do. We are:

• Cultivators of the Highest Quality Threads
• Pioneers in 100% Organic Cotton
• Free from Toxins at Every Step
• 100% Traceable from Farm to Finish

Boll & Branch has over 150 employees, and we are headquartered in Summit, NJ, with a second office in New York, NY, and a dedicated Photo Studio in New Providence, NJ. In 2019, to propel our growth, we raised $100M from L Catterton, a leading consumer goods private equity fund. We are also progressively expanding our retail and wholesale footprint. While the heart of our business lies in the direct-to-consumer online model, we also have three retail stores around the country as well as partnerships with Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom.
