Our Story
Mission:
Body by Love creates design solutions for women to see themselves represented so they can live authentic and beautiful lives. We want you to "see yourself" in everything we do.
The design thinking of many clothing and consumer brand products is fundamentally flawed. 67% of the American female population wears a size 18 and up, yet most product design still caters to size 8 or smaller. At Body by Love we believe that optimal design options should not be limited due to one’s size. Body by Love is reimagining the bath experience by bringing inclusive design to bath leisure products.
We are on a mission to transform the home bath ritual, giving all bodies access to size inclusive items.
Our Values:
- Size Inclusion
- Challenge design
- Lead with Love
- Build with Care
- Prioritize Wellness
- Community & Representation
Signature Products:
Our first stop on our bath journey is the development of our luxury oversized bath towel (also known as an extra large bath towel or bath sheet), complementary bath candles, shimmer body oil, soaps and dry brushes. The standard bath size towel is created up to 58 inches forcing many women who need larger towels to adapt. Our research has shown women over a size 12 have been using beach towels or even two bath towels to dry themselves completely. Body by Love's new signature size inclusive luxury bath towel is our first effort to address this gap. The Body by Love Bath Towel is 35" x 72" inches, 700 GSM and wraps around the body giving you complete and full coverage. Our plan is to develop more extensive bath solutions for this segment of neglected customers including towels up to 90" inches and size inclusive bath robes.
Wellness Conversations:
The customers we serve at Body by Love are often excluded from wellness conversations. In addition to our luxury bath towel collection, we host community programs with the hope of empowering women, inspiring confidence and encouraging them to be bold and take up space in other areas of their lives. We build community around a mantra of looking and feeling great at every single size. We are building a size inclusive future and brand that serves as a counter narrative to mainstream’s beauty and image standards.
Our Founder:
Body by Love is our Founder, Camille's second foray into entrepreneurship. In 2010, she began a series of private shopping parties, that emerged into a mobile plus size and pop up shop and then eventually expanded online. Pop Up Plus presented a highly edited mix of each season’s cutting edge trends from Independent American and International designers. Before entrepreneurship she honed her skills for 15 years in various roles within the fashion industry in planning, buying, store execution and pricing strategy at some of the fashion industry's established companies.
Her love for entrepreneurship stems from her grandpa Horace. Born in Jamaica, Camille, has vivid memories trailing behind her grandpa, as he bought fabric locally and made his own suits for church on his Singer machine from the 1930’s.
Camille has received a number of awards from UBS & Project Entrepreneur to I Fund Women and the Caress Dream Fund. She is on a new mission to transform our bathing rituals creating a new size inclusive luxury experience in our bathroom spaces.
