IBEX WEST
2014 - 2017
Susan worked as the Creative and Technical Consultant, in addition to the Factory Manager for Ibex West from 2014 to 2017.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in White River Junction, VT, Ibex designed and manufactured premium Merino wool outdoor clothing. The company was founded on the belief of the superior performance and inherent properties of natural Merino wool fibers. Ibex coupled this renewable resource with technical innovation and inspired design to create apparel for a diverse range of outdoor pursuits. Men’s and women’s styles were made from the best Merino wool fabrics sustainably sourced from New Zealand. Ibex has since closed.
