Mrs Momma Bear Workwear: Designer + Founder, Lee Evans Lee, is Changing the Game of Functional Fashion
As a fifth-generation rancher from West Texas, Lee Evans Lee has lived the essence of “work hard, play hard” her entire life. From raising goats to being a self-proclaimed “rodeo girl,” the unassuming entrepreneur’s ranch-lifestyle is in juxtaposition to her high-fashion fringe, lace, and sequins threads. Now, based in San Antonio and Aspen, Lee is a business owner, entrepreneur, wife, and mom, grinding in her daily routine while enjoying life’s extravagances, and everything in between. In the past, this would mean multiple wardrobe changes a day and sacrificing beauty for function depending on the role. A true Momma Bear, Lee saw a deficit in the market and seized the opportunity, clawing her way into the fashion industry.
“I've spent a lot of time working on the family ranch. I thrive when spending time outside tending to our ranch – but I grew tired of wearing dickies or workout clothes,” says Lee. “I started searching for something different. I wanted function, I wanted comfort, and I wanted style. And I wanted it all in one.”
That’s when Lee had an epiphany and created a line for women, by a woman - someone who understood the challenges of choosing fashion over function and longing for a stylish solution. Enter Mrs Momma Bear Workwear, the high-end, functional fashion brand that is changing the rules. The everyday pleasure of being in workout clothes without being in workout clothes, MMB offers the comfort and resilience of your favorite yoga pants without ever having to compromise elegance or glamor. Finally, designer style, activewear comfort, and machine washable convenience all in one.
Lee’s longtime passion, met with a piqued interest in creating a niche in the market, was her driving force. She explains, “I've always been obsessed with textiles and design. Inspired by what was missing from my own closet, I created Mrs Momma Bear Workwear. This fashion-forward clothing enables anyone to take on anything that our busy days throw at us. You can now move freely through the day while never compromising on style. This line exists to be functional, durable, and beautiful.”
From boardroom savvy suits, to tailored blazers, and sculpted jumpsuits, the MMB styles are clout-worthy yet comfortable. Made of buttery soft fabrics, that give and stretch with every click of your heels (or cowboy boots,) the classic design will draw you in, but the construction will get you hooked. But it isn’t all neutrals and pantsuits, Lee incorporates her unique Texas flair into Mrs Momma Bear with fringe that mimics feathers, pops of color, and funky prints. From her Debut Collection, to the newly released Afterglow Collection, there is a style for any shopper.
With two boutiques in her home state of Texas, in both Houston and San Antonio, as well as a pop-up shop in Aspen, the sky is the limit for this Woman of Influence. For more information and to shop both collections, visit MrsMommaBear.com and follow along on Instagram @MrsMommaBearWorkwear.
