Hi, I’m Natalie Dusome, Founder and CEO of Poppy & Peonies.

At Poppy & Peonies, we’re a fun and energetic brand that believes style and function should always go hand-in-hand. We’re passionate about creating practical pieces that make life a little easier and literally lighten the load.

Building Poppy & Peonies has been an incredible adventure. It all started when my daughter Poppy was born, and I found that my accessories no longer fit my new life as a mom. I needed bags with pockets and organization that looked cool but also had functionality. When I couldn’t find them, I decided to create them myself. And so, in 2015, Poppy & Peonies was born.

We’ve come a long way since then—from filling orders in my basement to appearing on Dragons’ Den, and now, expanding into new product categories and collaborating with exciting influencers and brands. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but thanks to our incredible community, we’ve never felt more loved and supported!

We believe in our responsibility to care for the environment and are passionate about preserving the health and welfare of our planet and the animals that live on it. That’s why all of our bags are made from high-quality vegan leather, and our entire product line is vegan, cruelty-free, and PETA-approved. We ship our products plastic-free and use a combination of recycled, compostable, and biodegradable materials to mitigate shipping waste. We are constantly looking for new ways to make our products and supply chain more sustainable, reducing our carbon footprint.

As our Senior Merchant, you will shape the product strategy that fuels Poppy & Peonies’ continued growth. You will play a key role in defining the assortment strategy, category growth, and product lifecycle for Poppy & Peonies. This role will work closely with our Design and Creative teams, partnering day to day to help bring products to life - from initial concept through to launch. You will ensure that every product not only reflects our brand vision but also meets customer demand and drives commercial success.

You will help determine which products we develop, how we position them in the market, and how our assortment evolves as we expand into new categories and markets. Sitting at the intersection of design, data, and customer insight, you will ensure our assortment reflects what our customers truly want, while staying ahead of trends and competitive landscape.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves and is deeply passionate about handbags and accessories - someone who lives and breathes trends, understands the competitive market, and knows how to translate that into a winning product assortment. Does this sound like you?

Are you passionate about building product assortments that resonate with customers?
