Lee Evans Lee founded Mrs Momma Bear to bring women a line of unique, tailored designs that feel like your favorite yoga set. With a perfect blend of luxury and functionality, her collections effortlessly adapt to the diverse demands of daily life as the brand aims to revolutionize everyday apparel with a blend of designer style, activewear comfort, and machine-washable convenience. With a strong focus on innovation and growth, Mrs Momma Bear recently launched its third collection, “Love Letters,” and announced their first-ever international expansion, bringing the line to Paris in partnership with the global fashion boutique Flying Solo.
“Love Letters” is described by the designer as an ode to her clients, friends, and women all over the world. Throughout her time as a designer, Lee took note of what real women were missing in their wardrobes, and above all, found that dresses were the answer. She created this collection specifically to meet those needs. Alongside Mrs Momma Bear’s staple jumpsuit and suit designs,“Love Letters” includes timeless dresses with the same signature blend of luxe and athletic fabric as the first two collections.
This young brand is no stranger to hitting major business milestones early, successfully completing their first runway show at New York Fashion Week this past September. On bringing the collection to Paris, Lee shared, “Paris was the perfect city for our first step overseas because it embodies the lifestyle of the people we design for.The Parisian woman effortlessly combines practicality and elegance in her everyday life, and that’s the spirit we want to capture with Mrs Momma Bear. Overall, Paris is the ultimate representation of the sophisticated, multi-dimensional woman who inspires our brand.”
Mrs Momma Bear’s designs are for women like Lee; multi-hyphenates enjoying the most out of life while wanting to be comfortable. “Traveling, skiing, and polo are three of my biggest passions outside of being a mom and CEO, and travel itself was one of the core inspirations behind the creation of the brand. I wanted an alternative to the typical “airline wardrobe” of workout gear and sweats—something stylish yet practical. Many international cities, particularly in Europe, have a lifestyle centered around walking and biking to work, which I absolutely love. That commitment to uncompromising fashion deeply inspires me,” she explained.
“Flying Solo has been an ideal partner for our international expansion, particularly in Paris, where we’ve seen strong sales performance,” Lee shared. “Their support has been invaluable, from securing worldwide recognition to organizing fashion shows. Beyond that, their daily business operations are seamless, and they consistently provide exceptional service. Their commitment to collaboration and understanding of our brand’s vision has been key for global growth.”
Expanding to Paris was a natural step to align Mrs Momma Bear with a culture that values style, movement, and sophistication in equal measure. The collection can be found online at www.mrsmommabear.com, Flying Solo’s locations in Paris and New York City, and The Canvas in New York City.
