Among the 47 New York clothing and apparel rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Pair Eyewear’s $75M on 2023-10-10, which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed rounds (the next-largest disclosed figures visible are $62M for Vivrelle on 2025-06-04 and $60M for Grailed on 2021-09-16). A number of entries also cluster temporally: the list spans 2020-04-10 (Pepper) through 2026-03-03 (Adrianna Papell), and the most recent half-year includes several sizable checks such as Vivrelle ($62M, 2025-06-04) and Tapstitch ($22M, 2025-05-02).
Stage and disclosure patterns skew toward anonymity or non-standard labeling: 20 of 47 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 5 of 47 rows are explicitly “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Adrianna Papell 2026-03-03). Despite different sub-brands, the geography is consistently New York (all listed as New York, with only one entry explicitly using “New York, New York” vs others labeled “New York”), with a particularly active concentration of disclosed rounds in 2022–2024 compared with the earlier 2020–2021 entries.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this New York clothing/apparel slice, and how isolated is it versus the next-largest disclosed amounts?
Pair Eyewear’s $75M (2023-10-10) is the largest disclosed amount in the 47-row list and sits above most others. The next-largest disclosed amounts visible are $62M (Vivrelle, 2025-06-04) and $60M (Grailed, 2021-09-16), making the $75M round a clear outlier at the top end.
Do rounds concentrate in a specific recent time window, or are they evenly spread across 2020–2026?
They’re not evenly spread: the earliest displayed disclosed check appears in 2020 (e.g., Pepper $2M on 2020-04-10; CALA $3M on 2020-07-07), while multiple large rounds show up in the mid-2020s (Vivrelle $62M on 2025-06-04; Tapstitch $22M on 2025-05-02; Pat McGrath Labs $30M on 2026-02-17). The list overall spans 2020-04-10 to 2026-03-03.
How much of the dataset is labeled “Series Unknown” or has undisclosed amounts, and what does that imply for stage analysis?
Stage labeling is frequently incomplete: 20 of 47 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 5 of 47 rows show “undisclosed” amounts (including Adrianna Papell 2026-03-03 and Another’s $3M but not “undisclosed,” contrasting the pattern). This means any stage-mix conclusions are constrained by the share of entries without a standard round label or disclosed amount.
Are there repeated stage/category patterns (even with inconsistent naming) that dominate disclosed amounts?
Disclosed amounts appear across many categories (e.g., $30M for Pat McGrath Labs under “Series Unknown” on 2026-02-17, $75M for Pair Eyewear under “Series C” on 2023-10-10, and $140M for Harry’s under “Series F” on 2022-01-11). However, because “Series Unknown” accounts for 20 of 47 rows, categories with explicit labels (like “Series C” or “Series F”) are easier to analyze but won’t represent the entire market picture in this slice.
Which entries should be treated as outliers at the low end, based on disclosed amounts?
The smallest disclosed amount is WESTxEAST’s $10K grant (2022-09-22). Several other very small disclosed checks cluster around the sub-$1M–$0.5M boundary only via specific listings like DGI Apparel’s $500K (2024-04-03), while most remaining disclosed rounds sit in the $2M–$30M band.
Is there evidence of a geographic concentration within New York, or are the entries uniformly labeled by city?
The geography is consistently New York in the listing: all 47 entries are tagged to New York, with most simply labeled “New York, United States,” and a smaller subset explicitly “New York, New York, United States” (e.g., Adrianna Papell on 2026-03-03; Pat McGrath Labs on 2026-02-17). There is no split across multiple U.S. cities within the dataset beyond the naming convention.
