Descriptiontext

Chloe + Isabel is a US-based social commerce fashion jewelry company founded in 2011 by Chantel Waterbury, a former merchandising executive at Target, Macy's, LVMH, Cartier, Tiffany and Co., and Ippolita. The company sells hand-designed, hypoallergenic and nickel-free fashion jewelry in four core categories (necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings/pins) priced from $18 to $200, backed by a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee. Its core technology is an e-commerce platform that powers personalized Merchandiser e-boutiques and a virtual back-office for social selling, augmented by integrations with major payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, PayPal, Apple Pay) and Facebook OAuth login.

The business runs on a social retail / direct-sales model: independent Merchandisers purchase a one-time $175 Starter Kit containing $600+ of jewelry, branded materials, and access to a training academy, then earn 25-40% commissions on sales generated through their own online boutiques and in-person pop-up shops. Managers earn additional team-based commissions. The company generates revenue from two streams: direct jewelry transactions (DTC e-commerce plus Merchandiser-fulfilled orders) and one-time Starter Kit fees. Supporting products include e-Gift Cards ($50-$200) and the Passport Rewards loyalty program. The company served fashion-conscious US consumers and aspiring women entrepreneurs, operating exclusively within the United States (including Puerto Rico) from its New York City design studio and headquarters at 40 Exchange Place.
