Behind the Brand

A lifetime of fashion prowess. A zeal for helping others. Jacalyn E.S. Bennett — president and founder of Bennett and Company — has led a life dedicated to bringing beauty and love to the world. From a young age, Jacalyn was drawn to the world of fashion, ever at the sewing machine designing new garments. After entering the fashion industry, she discovered that by providing employment through her work, she could create a positive ripple effect that would benefit the individual worker, their family, and the community.

 

And so began a pursuit of using her work and passion to support a better existence for all beings.

 

Since founding Bennett and Company in 1985, Jacalyn has worked tirelessly to create an environment that empowers our young women, supports our global teams, and betters the communities and environments in which we all live.

 

Jacalyn is unique in the world of lingerie, not only for leading one of the few women-owned intimate apparel companies, but also for integrating Gandhian principles, sustainability, human rights, and social consciousness into our business model.

 

From founding Sati Creations in Sri Lanka — an organization that gives jobs to young mothers in support of the Sarvodaya Suwasetha women’s shelter — to creating the Insight Meditation Center of Newburyport, Jacalyn strengthens local and global community through her philanthropic work. And because of her generous efforts, she’s making the world a more beautiful, loving place.
