Our Story
They say it takes a village to raise a child.
Well, it takes a village and an entire extended family to create the world's best henley! Just ask Steggy’s founders and cousin-in-laws, Meredith Spann and Matthew Laken, whose individual life journeys and pursuits of perfection collided at just the right time resulting in a groundbreaking product.
MEREDITH SPANN
For Meredith, her goal was to create and deliver a shirt worth wearing. She noticed her husband, Todd, has an affinity towards henley-style shirts, given they are comfortable and video call appropriate. However, she also noticed how many he was going through in a season. The shirt would shrink in the wash, or it was too itchy, or it became stretched out. None of them met his need for a high-quality, everyday shirt. With no apparent solution, she decided to craft the perfect henley herself.
MATTHEW LAKEN
Matthew's journey was a bit different. As the Head of Operations at one of the finest school uniform providers in Philadelphia, he was forced to think quickly to keep his family business dynamic afloat in a challenging Covid environment. Refusing to sit on his hands until kids returned to a regular school schedule, Matthew chose to let his entrepreneurial spirit shine.
Here is where their stories come together…
As part of the same family, it was an easy decision to take on the challenge to create the perfect henley shirt: a clear market need and a retail expert looking for a new project. The next 2+ years involved vetting manufacturers, iterating on our henley shirt 13+ times, and running the product countless times through the wash to ensure maximum durability. At last, Steggy's Perfect Henley was created, and Matthew and Meredith believe it is now ready to share with everyone.
