PT Sales Associate: NAADAM (pop up)

Leap
Chicago, IL

About the Brand
We’re NAADAM . We make heirloom-worthy styles that are soft AF and made to love — season after season. Plus, we cut out the middlemen so Mongolian herders are paid more and our quality knitwear costs you less. It all started in the middle of nowhere.The Gobi Desert, to be exact. When college friends Matthew Scanlan and Diederik Rijsemus accidentally found themselves living on a remote nomadic herding farm in the middle of Mongolia. While there, they became friends with the local herders. And witnessed firsthand how traditional cashmere traders fixed prices and kept the profits. The duo realized that they could cut out the middlemen, pay their herder friends more, and sell luxury knitwear for less.
