About us

Pain to Passion

Welcome to L'prias, where every piece of clothing tells a story of resilience and hope. Founded by Lepria Hayes in the midst of her battle with depression and the overcoming of childhood traumas, our brand started as a personal sanctuary, a way to channel feelings into something tangible and transformative.

Lepria turned 20 when she decided it was time to reshape her destiny. Her pain became her inspiration, and her struggles laid the foundation for L'prias. The brand began simply, with just two outfits – one for men and one for women. She took to social media to share her creations, and slowly, what started as a small project evolved into a nationwide phenomenon, touching lives across the United States.

At L'prias, we are driven by a mission to help you find yourself and challenge you to reach your utmost potential. Our clothing is designed not just to be worn, but to encourage you to stay original while breaking barriers. Each piece reflects the journey of overcoming dark times and embracing true personal freedom.

L'prias is more than a brand — it's a movement. It’s about fighting through difficult moments and emerging stronger on the other side. Our designs are inspired by real-life stories of heartache and victory, representing not only survival but growth.

Join us as we continue to share our message through fashion. Let L'prias be a part of your journey, helping you to push limits and celebrate your unique story.

The Beginning

The Beginning

This image captures a milestone moment—the first photoshoot for L'prias. Taken in the modest setting of Lepria Hayes's first apartment, this photo represents the humble beginnings of our brand. Featuring the very first designs, one outfit for men and one for women, the shoot was carried out with the help of a friend, hired at an affordable price to keep our dreams achievable. This scene is more than just a picture; it's a chapter of our story, where passion meets perseverance.

Marquis, through his own experiences, instilled in Lepria the invaluable lesson that living life on your own terms, passionately and authentically, is not only possible but crucial. The photo radiates warmth and inspiration, encapsulating the essence of L'prias - a brand born from a journey of personal recovery, transformation, and the belief in pursuing one's passions against all odds. Just like the brand Lepria has built, this image is a powerful reminder of the beauty in overcoming life's darkest times and the support of those who believe in us the most.
