Hello, I’m Natalie Dusome, Founder and CEO of Poppy & Peonies—a vibrant, energetic brand built on the belief that style and functionality should go hand in hand. We focus on creating practical, beautifully designed products that make everyday life easier.

Poppy & Peonies started as a personal journey. After my daughter Poppy was born, my old accessories no longer matched my lifestyle. I needed stylish, functional bags with organization and pockets. When I couldn’t find what I was looking for, I designed it myself—and in 2015, Poppy & Peonies was born.

A lot has changed since then. We’ve grown from shipping orders out of my basement to appearing on Dragons’ Den, expanding into new categories, and collaborating with inspiring influencers and brands. It hasn’t always been easy, but our incredible community has supported us every step of the way.

We are strongly committed to sustainability and animal welfare. All of our products are made from high-quality vegan leather and are completely vegan, cruelty-free, and PETA-approved. We ship without plastic and use recycled, compostable, and biodegradable materials. We continuously look for ways to improve the sustainability of our products and supply chain to reduce our environmental footprint.
