STAUD Clothing, founded and located in Los Angeles, CA, by Sarah Staudinger and George Augusto, is one of today's hottest up and coming fashion brands. STAUD is a ready to wear and accessories brand offering chic essentials and stand-alone pieces designed and created in downtown LA.
At the heart of STAUD is design. Think: a scrupulous attention to detail, a natural opposition to the typical, and a feminine aura thats equal parts seductive and self-governing all whilst leaving room, of course, for the occasional mushroom trip or jaunt to the beach (or both). If fashion is a never-ending pursuit of style, then STAUD is what happens after youve found it.
STAUD offers a health care plan to include medical coverage, dental care, vision insurance, an FSA plan, and a matching 401k plan.
