Founder: Ashley Merrill
Ashley Merrill, Founder and CEO, started Lunya because she was tired of wearing her husband's old T-shirts and boxers around the house. With the rise of streaming and food delivery, Ashley realized that the home was no longer just the place that you go to sleep, so she created a 'uniform' for lounging, working from home, watching Netflix - you name it.
Lunya seeks to uplift women on all levels, from customers to the larger community. Beginning with product, Lunya designs with women in mind. The co. invests heavily in product development to make sure that its fabrics are breathable (+ washable!) and that the fit is flattering on a woman's body. In the community, Lunya partners with Girls, Inc. and Upstream, which are focused on improving women's education and health, respectively.
"It feels only natural that a business that was founded to make women's lives better at home would do that in every way we can. As a business, you should be able to trace your mission through everything you do." - Ashley
