Brand Story

The L'une woman is a modern romantic who understands the importance of being an individual.  She expresses her femininity and a touch of look-at-me sass.  She may choose art as fashion in our carefully crafted runway pieces down to our rockstar cocktail rings.  The L'une woman loves to travel and finding things that are new and different. 

To offer maximum comfort with style, we cut most of the line in wovens with stretch or in knits.  Even our most outrageous plastic bustiers and accessories are surprisingly lightweight.  Based in beautiful La Jolla, California since 2009, L'une is an emerging niche brand that is continually evolving with our customer's lifestyle.  We strive to design with the comfort of flipflops but with stiletto glam.  Shop small with lots of personality.

Creative Director: Anh Volcek

Born at sea, Ms Volcek grew up in Quebec City and Montreal where she fell in love with fashion with a European flair.

In Paris, she fine tuned her design knowledge while working for couture houses such as Koji Tatsuno and then for Lapidus. After graduating with honors and winning a gold thimble in 1998 from Parsons School of Design, Ms Volcek began designing costumes for modern dancers in NYC with InMixedCompany.

She has a long career in large US firms in New York and California such as Calvin Klein, Nautica and Gap, Inc.  She was the recipient of a corporate award for excellence in launching a new brand for Liz Claiborne in 3 weeks time earning over 4 million in sales.  Working bi-coastally between LA and New York, Ms Volcek spends her downtime soaking rays on the beach.

She was key in launching L'une [loon], a collection that combines European knowledge, American modern lines, and her passion for newness in technology and innovation. Her signature work with plastic, metal and glass has been featured in London, Switzerland, New York, LA, OC, San Diego, and San Francisco.

With L'une, Anh Volcek has been in WWD, CA News Apparel, Seventeen, Riviera OC magazine, Runway Magazine's emerging designers to watch, and in The Fashion District of LA spotlight. In 2010, she was given a resolution award by the US Congress and recognized as the symbol of the next generation of Vietnamese in America.
