LuxLined began with a mission to make wearing wool sweaters comfortable. Andrea always found wool products itchy, even the finest cashmere.

"Spending a day in an itchy wool sweater is enough to make you swear off wool entirely, no matter how great you might have looked," she said.

To address this, Andrea developed an ultra-thin, stretchy lining for LuxLined sweaters that offers all-day temperature regulation and static-free, itch-free comfort—no underlayer needed.

Beyond redefining comfort, Andrea aimed to support women-owned businesses after building and selling two biotech companies. Ten percent of proceeds go to Herizon Funding, empowering women leaders, especially in STEM fields.
