Founder Story

After living and traveling all around the world, I missed the experience of a well curated boutique that felt like you were visiting your best friend. I started LADDER because I believe that Cleveland deserved a place like this – part beautiful clothing and part community center. Our focus on sustainable designers, many of whom are up-and-coming, is unique and so important to our mission. We believe in supporting small, buying local and feeling good about our purchases.

Why do you love being at VAD?

I love that all the other vendors are independent, small business owners. I also love that it’s a community place. When I’m not working, I’m up here all the time with my family and friends and I love being a part of the culture of this space.
