Patrick Winget, the head of design and production for LuLaRoe, abruptly left the $2 billion women’s clothing company in mid-September according to an article in Business Insider. In 2017 Lularoe was hit by a class action lawsuit.
Winget’s departure comes as many LuLaRoe consultants — the tens of thousands of women who sell its clothing — flee the business in droves, according to interviews with nine former consultants.
Sellers who exited the business last year said they are still waiting on refund checks worth as much as $8,000 from the company.
“I’m terrified [LuLaRoe] will go bankrupt before I get my refund,” said an ex-consultant who claims she has been waiting since December for a check totaling more than $4,000.
LuLaRoe did not respond to requests for comment on the refund claims. One of LuLaRoe’s most senior founding executives, Patrick Winget, has suddenly left the women’s clothing brand.
Winget served as the head of design and production for the multilevel-marketing company since its inception in 2013. He is widely regarded as a sort of celebrity among the tens of thousands of people — mostly women — who sell LuLaRoe clothing online and at private parties across the US.
