THE FOUNDERS

Susan Feldman and Alison Gelb Pincus are passionate home enthusiasts. After realizing that there wasn’t a place to find stunning home décor goods at affordable prices, they created One Kings Lane.

When Susan and Alison were Manhattanites, they loved attending private sample sales. But this ended when both moved to the West Coast. So, they began to dream: What if there were a shopping destination that offered the remarkable deals of a sample sale, but with top quality, curated goods (no need to dig for great finds!)? And what if it could be accessed from the convenience of home (or the office)? This was an idea even New York City dwellers would love! Thus, they decided to create One Kings Lane to blend their combined experiences in retail, apparel and digital media; their passion for home decor and design; and their entrepreneurial aspirations.

One Kings Lane is the first, home-oriented private sales destination on the Internet, and its goal is to make living well an affordable reality.

Due to their decor obsessions, Susan and Alison continue to enjoy learning from their favorite interior designers, and savor their words and wisdom. As such, One Kings Lane captures experts’ wisdom and philosophies in the “Get Inspired” section.

The brand mission of creating an innovative online service for both consumers and brand owners continues to motivate Susan, Alison and the devoted One Kings Lane team.
