Fashion Brand Cuyana Lands $1.7M From Canaan Partners To Get Women To Buy Fewer, Better Things

It may seem counter-intuitive for an apparel and accessories company to encourage women to buy fewer things, but that's exactly what a new startup called Cuyana is doing. Cuyana, a San Francisco startup that makes responsibly sourced, high-end apparel and accessories sold only online, is announcing today that it's closed on $1.7 million in seed funding from Canaan Partners to scale out its company. Cuyana currently has a full-time staff of five along with 10 part-timers, which will likely grow in the months ahead.
