A New Chapter

Dear Whonderful You,

I hope these words find you in high spirits on International Women’s Day! Today we spotlight the incredible contributions of women across the world, but it is doubly special to us as today we are blessed to be back doing what we love at OF WHONDER, supporting and designing clothing for beautiful women like you.

Due to COVID-19, we stepped away in 2020 to protect the talented women (and one special man) that make up our team. The health and safety of those we love always comes first. But know that while we have been away, you have constantly been on our minds. We have prayed for your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing. We have hoped that your time home with family and to re-connect with yourself has been the silver lining. And in the meantime, we have been thinking of how to better serve you through our offerings and experiences, how to better protect the environment through more sustainable business practices, and how to better reach women and girls around the world through our Carma activities. We have all grown tremendously over the past year, and OF WHONDER has too. Perhaps not in size nor revenue, but certainly in commitment.

There is always work to be done, even in a pandemic. We are even more committed, through luxurious fashions, unique experiences and positive content, to helping you become the very best version of yourself. Visit our website and social platforms often for words of encouragement, introductions to amazing women doing amazing things, beautiful collaborations with fellow women and minority-owned brands, and of course for timeless luxury fashion for women of all shapes and sizes. Women are, without a doubt, the backbone of every society, community, and family. In that respect, our brand is no different.

What does set us apart is our commitment to our five core principles: quality, inclusivity, individuality, sustainability, and community. Today, I salute you and all women from our loyal clients, community activists, political and business leaders to my beloved Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. sisters for the remarkable things you all do every single day to make the world better in big and small ways.
