Lundyn Carter — Changing the Narrative: Experience Over Ownership, Disrupting the Wedding Industrial Complex, Setting Healthy Boundaries, Serving your Community, Slow and Steady . . ., and much more (#010) Lundyn Carter (@lundyncarter [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lundyncarter]) is the CEO and cofounder of Laine London (@lainelondon [https://www.lainelondon.com]), a first-of-its-kind tech-enabled startup leveraging the clothing-as-as-service model to help brides-to-be say "yes!" to renting their dream wedding dress. Lundyn holds an MBA in Business Leadership and Strategy from Emory University and Bachelor of Arts degree in both Political Science and Mass Communications from Flagler College. Established in 2018 and based in Atlanta, Laine London’s mission is to provide brides-to-be with convenient and cost-efficient access to wedding dresses without the financial, emotional or social burdens of ownership. There are many benefits of a sharing economy and Laine London encourages women to take advantage of these—by renting rather than purchasing their wedding gowns.
