• Agnes Weber

  Founder of MENDED - Building a better way to keep your clothes in play

  Agnes Weber is the founder of MENDED, the loyalty engine powered by repair. With leading fashion brands, she brings customers back to stores and webshops via repair, proven to drive 2.3x higher CLV. Agnes combines a decade of experience as an influencer with over 21 million views to show how repair is a modern loyalty driver for brands. She has defined repair as the Trojan Horse of Loyalty. When she is not partnering with fashion brands to drive loyalty, she is found on stages or on your screen. Her journey started on YouTube, and she has since formed a growing community of 110.000+ across social platforms. Next to everyday stories, she shares circular content as a 'sidedish' to attract masses. With videos reaching up to 21 Million views, she have proven that her signature content resonates.
