Meet Samamtha Firestone | Creative Director & Founder, LELUXE

We had the good fortune of connecting with Samamtha Firestone and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Samamtha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Fashion is one of the best forms of self expression and creativity. Regardless of one’s personal style, all women crave that “just right” tee or tank that pairs with everything effortlessly and allows their authentic self to shine.

LELUXE was born from my desire to create these pieces – the ones that I wanted and needed in my own closet. Those style staples that we reach for over and over again whether to throw on with basic denim or because that incredible statement skirt or jacket is unwearable without them. With LELUXE, I have sourced the softest fabrics and created the most flattering silhouettes so that every top feels as fabulous as it looks.

Ultimately, LELUXE embodies my passion for fashion that transcends fleeting trends and empowers women to express their individuality while feeling effortlessly chic in every moment.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
