Founders Note

Leisure Lab started in 2018 as an idea between two friends — us, Daniel and Darren. We believed it was still possible to make clothing in the United States and to do it the right way. From the beginning, we committed to designing and producing everything in our own factory in Los Angeles. It isn’t always the easiest path, but it allows us to stay close to the details that matter: quality, fit, and fabric.

We’ve never wanted to be a fast fashion brand. We make pieces we hope you’ll wear for years, not just a season. Some of our friends and family still wear the original T-shirt they bought to support us when we were just getting started — and that means more to us than anything.

We source premium fabrics from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and continue incorporating more natural fibers like cotton as we grow. Our goal is simple: to create clothing rooted in coastal California style that feels relaxed, refined, and easy to mix and match into a thoughtful wardrobe.

Because we live and work in Los Angeles, we care deeply about how things are made. We make conscious choices in our materials and packaging, working to reduce plastic wherever possible and to build something we’re proud of.

If you’ve chosen to wear Leisure Lab, thank you. We don’t take that lightly.

— Daniel & Darren
