MM. La Fleur

M.M.LaFleur was founded in 2013 by Sarah LaFleur and fashion designer Miyako Nakamura after recognizing a gap in the market for sophisticated workwear that balanced luxury-quality design with practicality for professional women. The brand launched as a direct-to-consumer company offering curated styling through its signature “Bento Box” service, allowing customers to try expertly selected wardrobes at home. The company’s collections focus on polished dresses, suiting, knitwear, separates, and travel-friendly wardrobe staples designed to minimize decision fatigue while maintaining a refined aesthetic. M.M.LaFleur sources premium fabrics from Italy, Japan, and Germany and is recognized for timeless silhouettes that prioritize versatility, comfort, and longevity. In 2017, the brand introduced First Addition, its extended-size collection, after investing significant time in developing new fit models and patternmaking specifically for sizes 14 through 22 rather than simply grading up straight-size garments. However, in 2020, M.M.LaFleur scaled back its plus-size expansion due to insufficient sales while continuing to refresh select bestselling extended-size styles. Today, M.M.LaFleur remains a respected premium workwear brand known for minimalist design, personalized styling, and clothing engineered for modern professional life.
