Hi - I'm Leslie!

I'm the owner and creator here at Lou + James Collective. My small business was born from the idea that I wanted to utilize my creative energy, and artistic passions while reaping the rewards of raising my children. What began as a side hustle in the corner of my garage has blossomed into a thriving brand featured in multiple retail locations, pop-up events and an online shop.

I specialize in high-quality, sustainably sourced, screen-printed apparel that is as stylish as it is comfortable, while catering to the whole family. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to reflect the beauty of everyday moments, especially the unique journey of motherhood.

At Lou + James Collective, our mission is to bring style and comfort to your life so you can fully embrace and enjoy those meaningful, cherished moments. From cozy days at home to adventurous outings, we are here to provide apparel that complements the rhythm of your family’s life with ease, beauty, and sustainability.
