Deep dives
Everlane's Radical Transparency
Everlane, an online retail platform, gained success by offering customers radical transparency. They started by selling t-shirts at a fraction of the cost of luxury brands and disclosed the true cost of manufacturing. Customers were attracted to the idea of ethical consumption and getting high-quality products without exorbitant markups. Everlane expanded its product line to include backpacks and other basics, all while maintaining transparency around the factories and materials used. The brand's growth was primarily driven by word-of-mouth and organic buzz. However, Everlane faced challenges with micromanagement and learning to lead as the company grew.
