Our Story
We are two friends from Kentucky. In the past year we've developed a fun and flirty line of lingerie and are preparing to share it with the world. Penny Royale stands out because our lingerie uses organic fabrics and is locally made. Our next line of lingerie will incorporate the work of local artist onto our fabrics. Penny Royale's particular style comes from a shared love for all things vintage. The stylings of the 1950s and 1960s are influential in how we cut our underwear-- this retro look is extremely flattering on the female form, especially when we add our own modern touches, which makes our products accessible to any woman.
The Impact
We are hoping to fill a void for women who want lingerie that is comfortable, creative, and responsible to our environment. Not only will we be impacting our consumers lives by becoming their favorite brand and making you look absolutely adorable--we will be helping to expose developing artists to a broader audience. Our list of talented friends goes on and on and we want to find a way to give something back to them for being so inspiring to us. With each new collection we will work with a different artist and print their artwork onto our products. With each product that is sold we will include printed information about the artist and how our customers can learn more about them.

We in the past have made all of the lingerie ourselves and we can continue to do so until more funding is available.
