Los Angeles, United States STAUD Full time

STAUD Clothing, located in Los Angeles, CA, has an opening for a Design Assistant, Handbags on their Design team.


STAUD Clothing, founded and headquartered out of Los Angeles, CA, is one of today's hottest up and coming fashion brands. STAUD is a ready to wear line offering chic essentials and stand-alone pieces designed and created in Los Angeles.


At the heart of STAUD is design. Think: a scrupulous attention to detail, a natural opposition to the typical, and a feminine aura that's equal parts seductive and self-governing -- all whilst leaving room, of course, for the occasional mushroom trip or jaunt to the beach (or both). If fashion is a never-ending pursuit of style, then STAUD is what happens after you've found it.


STAUD offers a health care plan to include medical coverage, dental care, vision insurance, an FSA plan, and a matching 401k plan.
