Reaching cult status

INC. THIS MORNING Reaching cult status Good morning, When Cuyana founders Shilpa Shah and Karla Gallado looked around at so-called sustainable retailers a decade ago, they saw many treating their missions as an add-on. They wondered, is it possible for a retail company to have a mission-driven model that's both profitable and scalable? That’s the goal for Cuyana, their direct-to-consumer clothing and accessory brand. Cuyana took an all-or-nothing approach to sustainability, focusing on how its handmade products are sourced, manufactured, and delivered--not just on how they’re sold and marketed. The brand first gained a cult following for its bestselling leather tote, and has since brought 150 employees on board with its “fewer, better” ethos. Cuyana raised $30 million in 2019, and now has seven stores across the country.  “It should never be a question of whether you should make an impact or make a better business decision," says Shah. Read our story to learn how Cuyana took on fast fashion, and what Shah has learned about marketing a mission-driven company. HERE'S WHAT ELSE I'M READING TODAY: The U.S. added 943,000 jobs in July, and the unemployment rate dropped to 5.4 percent. --Inc. Two years after the Business Roundtable released a statement redefining corporate purpose, new research says top CEOs haven’t lived up to their promises. --Fortune (subscription required) After decades, the Minority Business Development Agency could finally become permanent. --Inc. Here’s how the small business community feels about President Biden’s infrastructure plan. --CNBC This Jamaican jewelry designer built a thriving business with a little help from Instagram, Kate Hudson, and Michelle Obama. --Inc.
