Nice to meet you!
I'm Margaux, founder of Lume Six. I am a dedicated mountain biker and love being outside and staying active.
I have experienced pain and discomfort from sports bras my entire life and realized many women were having the same issues. After a particularly uncomfortable time, I realized I had the skills to solve these issues. Drawing from over a decade of experience developing technical and performance apparel in the cycling and snow sports industries, Lume Six was born.
I started working on Lume Six with the goal of creating the next generation of sports bras. I wanted something supportive without being restrictive, I wanted something lightweight, breathable, faster drying, and straps that didn't bunch up. After 3 years of development, I can honestly tell you these are the best sports bras I have ever used.
You Deserve A Better Sports Bra
We all deserve better sports bras! Seriously, they suck and have sucked for a long time. They can be lighter, more comfortable, dry faster, and be more durable...they don't have to have removable padding!
Once I started this project, it quickly became my mission to create the next generation of sports bras. I want to create sports bras that use the best fabrics and construction methods possible so that we as women get the best performing products to support us in our activities. No cutting corners, no compromises.
Something to be Proud Of
In addition to better product, we wanted to create a company we could be proud of.
We are a proud member of 1% for the Planet, meaning we have committed to donating 1% of our sales to environmental non-profits.
All our sports bras are made from materials with recycled content from a dedicated partner in Italy making changes for more sustainable fabric production.
Things that are Important to Us
We believe the outdoors are for everyone.
We use the term "women" in a non-exclusionary way, including trans and non-binary women.
We are size inclusive and will have size XS-3XL within our first year.
Stick with us and you will see how we help drive positive change in the community and even the world as we grow. You can expect regular updates on our blog and Instagram.
Based in Santa Cruz, California
We have an outdoor playground in our backyard, nestled between the redwood forests and Pacific Ocean. Santa Cruz is an outdoor wonderland, great for hiking, surfing, mountain biking and just about anything in between.
We use this place as a testing ground for our products.
What Does Lume Six Mean?
Our brand is named after the illumination that happens during civil twilight, which starts when the sun is six degrees below the horizon. This is when the world starts to light up, a time of day that is filled with opportunity, possibility & positivity. At this time, the day is just beginning and ours to do with what we want.
Make today the day.
