Le Bon Shoppe - Slow Fashion from L.A.
In a world where fast fashion dominates the racks, it's refreshing to stumble upon a brand that prioritises intention over impulse.
That’s why we love Le Bon Shoppe, the Los Angeles-based label that's redefining everyday essentials with a commitment to slow fashion and sustainability.
That’s why we love Le Bon Shoppe, the Los Angeles-based label that's redefining everyday essentials with a commitment to slow fashion and sustainability.
Founded by longtime friends in the Arts District over a cosy winter's eve dinner, Le Bon Shoppe — meaning "The Good Shop" —was born from a shared dream of creating pieces that feel like a hug: simple, enduring, and made with care.
At HUG, we're thrilled to carry this gem of a brand, curating their collection to align with our mission of fair, ethical women's fashion that honours both people and the planet.
What sets Le Bon Shoppe apart aren’t just their quality fabrics or prismatic color palettes — it's also their ethos.
In an industry notorious for relentless seasons and overproduction, they buck the trend by producing limited quantities of each style, calculated precisely to sell out without excess waste.
No overstock means less environmental footprint, and their flexible production schedule treats factories and artisans as partners, not cogs in a machine.
This slow fashion approach ensures every garment is crafted to withstand trends and time, using quality materials like heavyweight cotton canvas and breathable knits.
It's fashion that invites you to buy less but cherish more, perfect for building a wardrobe that's as sustainable as it is stylish.
Let us introduce you to two of our all-time bestsellers from Le Bon Shoppe — the Arc Pants and the Boyfriend Socks:
The Arc Pants: Effortless Comfort Meets Timeless Design
For those days when you want to look put-together without the fuss, the Arc Pants are Le Bon Shoppe's crowning achievement.
These cropped beauties are the pants we all wish we had more of — thoughtfully designed with an elastic high waist that offers forgiving room to breathe, deep pockets for practicality, and unique side panels that add subtle structure.
The slightly curved leg shape creates a flattering, modern silhouette that's cropped just right to showcase your favourite socks (hello, Boyfriend Socks!) and shoes, while the heavyweight cotton canvas ensures they hold up to real life.
Crafted from 100% cotton for breathability and durability, the Arc Pants transcend seasons and occasions.
Pair them with a simple tee for errands, or elevate with a sweater for dinner out — they’re your perfect companions for a chic and effortless everyday look.
At HUG, we've stocked the Arc Pants in a variety of shades, like Black Canvas, Raw Denim, Tobacco, Pine, and Naturel, as well as the bestselling Leopard print.
Made in limited runs, the Arc Pants reduce overproduction and promote mindful consumption, aligning perfectly with our commitment to ethical brands.
Customers rave about their comfort (that elastic waist is a game-changer) and how well they fit different body types, though we recommend sizing up if you prefer a looser feel around the waist.
In a sea of fleeting trends, the Arc Pants are built to be your forever favourite.
The Boyfriend Socks: Your New Everyday Essential
If there's one item that captures Le Bon Shoppe's magic, it's the Boyfriend Socks.
These aren't your average foot coverings; they're a year-round bestseller that blends sporty vintage charm with unbeatable comfort.
Slightly longer than a classic crew, they feature a contrast double stripe for that effortless nod to retro athletics, mesh panels for breathability, and elastic arch support that keeps things secure without squeezing.
Made from a durable cotton-poly-spandex blend (85% cotton, 13% polyester, 2% spandex), they're designed to hug your feet like an old friend—soft yet sturdy enough for daily wear.
What we love most at HUG is how versatile they are. Pair them with well-worn denim and sneakers for a casual weekend vibe, or layer them under boots for a polished edge.
Available in extended sizing for a unisex fit, they're inclusive and practical, proving that sustainability doesn't mean sacrificing style or accessibility.
In colours like oatmeal, ice blue, moss green, classic navy or bright red, these socks add a pop of joy to any outfit while embodying Le Bon Shoppe's zero-waste philosophy, produced in small batches in South Korea to minimise environmental impact.
Trust us: once you try a pair, you'll want one in every hue. They're the kind of staple that makes slow fashion feel exciting.
