LA PEONY CLOTHING
La Peony Clothing (LPC) is a lux-leisure fashion brand based in Austin, Texas, offering timeless, seasonless wardrobe essentials for women who value both elegance and ethical craftsmanship. Designed for confident ease and enduring style, each piece is thoughtfully made in Los Angeles and enriched by artisan collaborations in Oaxaca, Mexico. Founder and Design Director, Melony Huber, is a purpose-driven entrepreneur who transforms high-end fashion into social impact through fair wages, eco-friendly materials and cultural storytelling.
SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSE
LPC is built on the belief that fashion should honour both people and the planet. From the beginning, founder Melony Huber envisioned a brand that merges elevated, yet practical, design with meaningful impact. Every La Peony garment reflects a commitment to ethical production, using more sustainable fabrics, trims and low-impact dyes. The brand partners with artisan communities in Oaxaca, Mexico and produces in small batches in Los Angeles to ensure transparency, fair wages and respectful working conditions without compromising quality. Sustainability at LPC goes beyond materials – it’s a mindset woven into every decision. The collections have been intentionally seasonless and timeless, encouraging long-term wear and sales cycles over fleeting trends. Packaging is recyclable or compostable and every detail, from zippers and buttons to stitching, is considered for durability and environmental responsibility. By championing craftsmanship, culture and conscious consumption, LPC empowers women to dress beautifully and comfortably while honouring the earth and its makers. For Melony, sustainability is not a trend – it’s a promise to design with integrity, uplift all contributors and buyers alike, and leave as light a footprint as possible, one garment at a time.

A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER
LPC is the expression of my heart – born from lived experience and guided by intuition. I build with integrity and community at the center: every artisan, partner, and customer has a voice. We share what we know, pay it forward, and design pieces that make women feel seen, comfortable and powerful. True luxury is clothing that honors people and planet, tells the truth about how it’s made, and quietly makes lives better – one beautifully considered piece at a time.

WHY POSITIVE LUXURY?
I chose to pursue ESG+ certification through Positive Luxury to formally align LPC with the highest standards in environmental, social and governance responsibility. This certification reinforces my brand’s commitment to ethical production, fair labor, and sustainable practices. It adds credibility and transparency, strengthening trust with conscious consumers and retail partners. ESG+ also helps me measure impact more effectively and continually improve, ensuring LPC grows with integrity while creating meaningful value for people and the planet.

PATHWAY TO HIGHER STANDARDS
At LPC, they have focused on sustainability and social good by using more sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, modal, bamboo, low-impact dyes and biodegradable packaging. Production is done in small batches to reduce waste, and the brand does not follow a traditional seasonal sales cycle. Instead, they create styles designed to be worn year-round, further minimising production waste. All garments are made ethically and to the highest quality standards in Los Angeles, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions. Their ongoing focus is on continuously improving the supply chain and identifying any overlooked areas for greater impact.
