ROCHELLE SARA & NANDITA SEKHAR

Launched in August 2020, New York label Stems found immediate success thanks to the industry experience of partners Rochelle Sara Gan & Nandita Sekhar. With experience at luxury brands like Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg, Thelios (L.V.M.H) & Manolo Blahnik, both founders wanted to build a brand that spoke to their beliefs, addressed their needs, and conformed to their aesthetic.

Like all good stories, Stems started with a moment of embarrassment. This one involved an ex (and a pair of day-old socks). Most women have an story about socks that have let them down, and that’s because most women’s socks are adapted from men’s socks — but our bodies are different, we perspire differently and we should expect our legwear to meet our needs.

With the belief that the joy of dressing begins feet first, Stems brings you the unexpected, balancing necessity and playfulness.

Stems is Luxury for Legs.
