Cabi, short for Carol Anderson by Invitation, is a women's fashion company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Claremont, California. The company was established by fashion designer Carol Anderson, who envisioned a new way of bringing high-quality, designer-level clothing directly to women through a social selling experience. Cabi distinguishes itself from traditional fashion retail by offering exclusive collections through in-home fashion shows hosted by independent stylists. This unique approach creates a personalized shopping experience where women can try on clothes, receive styling advice, and connect with friends in a relaxed, intimate setting. Cabi has earned recognition for its sophisticated designs, quality fabrics, and versatile wardrobe pieces that transition seamlessly from casual to professional settings.
Cabi offers two seasonal collections each year, featuring a curated selection of women's clothing and accessories designed to create mix-and-match wardrobes. The collections include tops, pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, outerwear, and accessories, all crafted with attention to fit, quality, and contemporary style. Each piece is designed to work within the broader collection, allowing women to build versatile wardrobes with fewer, higher-quality items. Cabi's design philosophy emphasizes timeless elegance with modern touches, creating clothing that women can wear season after season. The company also offers a limited selection of jewelry and accessories that complement each collection. By releasing exclusive, limited-quantity collections, Cabi creates a sense of excitement and urgency that enhances the shopping experience.
Cabi offers a business opportunity for women who are passionate about fashion and personal styling. Independent Cabi Stylists earn income by hosting fashion shows, selling clothing to their clients, and building teams of fellow stylists. The compensation plan includes retail commissions, bonuses, and incentives for meeting sales targets and team-building goals. Stylists receive seasonal sample collections, training resources, and business support tools to help them succeed. Cabi emphasizes a culture of friendship, empowerment, and community among its stylists, creating a supportive network that extends beyond business. The company provides extensive training on styling, sales techniques, and business management to help stylists grow their businesses effectively.
Cabi operates primarily in the United States and Canada from its headquarters in Claremont, California. The company has built a strong following among fashion-conscious women through its network of independent stylists and exclusive collection model. Cabi's approach to social selling has resonated with consumers who value personalized shopping experiences and high-quality clothing. The company continues to strengthen its domestic presence while exploring opportunities for growth through digital channels and expanded product offerings, maintaining its reputation as a premium direct-sales fashion brand.
