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 several retail stores around the country as well as partnerships with Bloomingdales and Nordstrom.
