The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
The Laundress launched in 1997 from New York City. Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd built it on specialized garment care. Their delicate wash formula became the signature product. Department stores stocked it for fine fabrics and woolens. The brand grew into a full line: stain removers, fabric sprays, dry-cleaning solutions. By the 2010s, The Laundress reached major retailers nationwide. Today it ranks among 21,133 tracked brands. In Home, Kitchen & Appliances, it ranks twenty. The company now focuses on premium laundry care for consumers who handwash expensive pieces.
