Launched in 2012 by Kalen Emsley, David Luba and Derrick Emsley, Tentree grew from a small T-shirt line into a lifestyle brand selling online and through wholesale partnerships with Earth Treks, Sun and Ski, and a number of smaller retailers in North America and the U.K.
“D.C. is the perfect first home for Tentree’s first U.S. retail store,” Diana Seung, president of Tentree, said in a statement. “There is a vibrant tree equity and planting community in D.C. that we are excited to join, and advocate for reforestation to fight climate change and restore our planet.”
