Welcome to Carole Wren® – your destination for high-quality, fashionable clothing and accessories. Our story begins in 2009, when founder Carole Wren had a vision to create a clothing brand that empowers and inspires women.
Our Founder’s Story
Carole spent over 20 years working in the fashion industry, gaining valuable experience at well-known brands. However, she felt unfulfilled only being part of someone else’s company. Carole dreamed of having her own brand that connected with women on a deeper level.
After much planning and preparation, Carole took the leap and launched her namesake brand in 2009. The risk paid off, and Carole Wren® quickly earned a reputation for offering versatile, sophisticated styles designed for real women’s lives.
“My goal was to create a brand that helps women look and feel their best,” said Carole. “I design clothes that transition effortlessly from day to night, boardroom to cocktail party. Every garment is crafted to flatter your figure and enhance your inner glow.”
What Makes Us Different
At Carole Wren®, we focus on fit, fabric, and flawless tailoring to produce clothing with an impeccable silhouette. Our designs are influenced by Carole’s English heritage with a modern, cosmopolitan twist.
We carefully select luxe, high-quality fabrics like silk, wool, linen, and cashmere. Our clothing features beautiful details like custom hardware, ornate buttons, and delicate lace trims.
Our brand also stands apart through our commitment to ethical, sustainable practices. We use eco-friendly dyes and partner with manufacturers that provide fair wages and safe working conditions.
Most importantly, we design for real women leading full, active lives. Our clothes take you seamlessly from work to cocktails to travel and everywhere in between. We create closet staples you’ll reach for again and again.

Our Commitment to Quality
From initial sketch to finished garment, we take great care with each step of the production process. It begins with our meticulous design phase.
Design
Our talented in-house team obsesses over every detail, no matter how small. They carefully consider the lines, seaming, and structure to design pieces that balance timeless style with modern appeal.
We source luxe fabrics from some of the finest mills in Europe and Japan. Tactile materials like silk shantung and wool gabardine add sensorial richness.
Craftsmanship
Once designs are complete, our experienced tailors and sewers bring them to life with expert workmanship. We use specialist techniques like:
- French seams for clean interior finishes
- Pickstitching along lapels and pockets for a couture look
- Hand-stitching intricate beaded embellishments
- Meticulous cutwork and draping on eveningwear
Our manufacturing partners share our devotion to quality. Many have decades of experience working with luxury brands.
Fit
The final and most critical step is rigorous fit testing. Models of diverse sizes and ages try on prototypes and provide feedback. We tweak designs to optimize shape and comfort on real women’s bodies.
We make samples in a full size range and test multiple fittings. Only once we have achieved perfection do our garments go into production. This dedication results in clothing with an impeccable tailored fit.
Our Next Chapter
In the past 13 years, Carole’s vision has grown into a beloved global brand available at over 300 retailers. As we embark on our next chapter, we remain committed to our founding principles.
We’ll continue leveraging Carole’s talent for blending classic silhouettes with modern details. Our focus on luxurious fabrics, ethical production, and exquisite quality will only strengthen.
Most importantly, we’ll keep designing clothes that help you look and feel empowered as you confidently take on the world. We consider it a privilege to be part of your style journey.
