Asstistant Merchandiser

Ann Inc. - LOFT Corporate, New York

About Lou & Grey
What We Make

This is a clothing label born out of instinct. We noticed women no longer want to choose between style and comfort, work or weekend wear—so we created an edited line of easy, texture-rich essentials for every day.

 

Who We Make It For

When we designed this collection, we had a certain girl in mind. She’s a free spirit who floats in and out of every situation with ease. Someone who’s aware of her surroundings yet still makes time for daydreaming. When she loves something, she holds onto it forever. She likes to look, listen, touch, feel ... discover. If she stumbles, a smile is never far behind. She’s a beautiful mix of contradictions.

 

Who We Are

We are a movement. We are an experience for all the senses. We follow our instincts. We thrive on endless ways different things can co-exist. We are connected through conversation, not just technology—we use technology for the better and to simplify our lives. We are out there in the world discovering, bringing people together and creating a culture. We believe that nothing is defined by one thing—the ampersand symbolizes the promise of something more. We are a library, a workshop, a test kitchen. People don’t stop by, they settle in.

We are Lou & Grey.
