Director of FP&A

About Us

Honeylove is a venture-backed DTC startup founded by EDM artist Betsie Larkin. After searching high and low for quality shapewear that made her feel confident on stage, Betsie decided to create her own line of stage-worthy shapewear and launched it in 2018. Honeylove grew quickly over the past couple of years and has sold over 2 million garments, as well as earned praise from countless publishers (eg: New York Times, Good Morning America, etc). SimilarWeb data show that we were the 2nd fastest-growing fashion brand in Q2 2021.

Since our launch in 2018, Honeylove has expanded to tops, bras, and many other garments that have set new standards in their segments. We apply a technical and artistic approach to problems we see in the fashion industry, creating products that serve our customers of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.
