To me, LADDER is a place to find community

To be honest with you,
I created LADDER because I wanted it.

Having lived all over the world, I missed the experience of a highly curated boutique where they remember your name, know your style and understand just the right way to get you out of your comfort zone.

DRE WIEN

Dre brings over a decade of branding, digital strategy, and event planning experience to LADDER. She's obsessed with interesting conversations, the perfect pair of denim, and building a community of cool people.

"Whether you're introduced to a small designer you've never heard of or clinking glasses at one of our events, we created LADDER because Clevelanders deserve something to be proud of. We deserve something special."

Thanks for being here with me.
