Everlane, Inc.everlane.comEverlane, Inc. is not currently listed as private-equity-owned.
Ownership & Acquisition History
Everlane is not currently controlled by a private equity firm because it is owned by Shein (a non-PE corporate parent) following a completed acquisition in May 2026.
Notes
- Multiple sources indicate the Shein acquisition of Everlane was completed/closed in May 2026, making Shein the current controlling owner rather than a private equity sponsor.
- Everlane was previously private-equity-controlled when L Catterton became majority owner in 2024, but that control ended when Shein acquired Everlane in May 2026.
- Everlane’s founding year is commonly cited as 2010 (including Wikipedia’s current infobox), though some older summaries have cited 2011; this response uses 2010 as the best-supported current reference.
