About us

Who we are

The team behind Peony are the Bucknall family. Tina Bucknall, Peony’s lead buyer, started in interior design, running a successful business in Hurstpierpoint in the heart of West Sussex.

Tina’s son Tom, a keen entrepreneur, developed a successful accessories business by attending events like Hickstead and the South of England show and selling scarves, bags, gloves, and hats. But as that business grew and evolved, the Made in Italy clothing began to outperform the accessories, and this inspired the Peony brand.

Today, Peony is a true family business, with Tina’s husband Nick serving as the finance director, while Tom and his sister Anna hold key positions as buyer and operations manager respectively. This close-knit family dynamic infuses Peony with a unique blend of professional expertise and personalised service.

“We’re dedicated to helping women feel their absolute best,” says Anna. “Our collections are curated with the idea that clothing should be both a comfort and a confidence booster. By offering exclusive designs, we ensure that each Peony piece not only makes you feel amazing, but also celebrates your individual style”.

Our Mission

At the heart of Peony is a simple mission: to inspire and uplift every woman who walks through our doors or visits our online store. We believe that fashion is more than just clothing; it’s about creating a look that makes you feel your most confident self.

Our dedicated team is committed to providing a positive and inviting shopping experience, offering a personalised service that goes beyond simply selling individual pieces.

With a diverse range of sizes from UK 6 to 24, we proudly cater to every shape and silhouette, ensuring there’s something special for everyone. Whether you’re browsing in one of our eight shops across West Sussex or exploring our online collections, our goal remains the same: that you leave feeling inspired, empowered, and absolutely fabulous.

How we Choose our Products

We choose our collections from all over the world, with our buyers travelling to Europe and the Far East to source fresh, exciting pieces and give you excellent value for money.

By hand-selecting unique designs each season and working in partnership with talented craftspeople, we’re able to offer you a wealth of one-of-a-kind styles that reflect your individuality and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Our carefully curated pieces are chosen to boost your confidence and leave you feeling wonderful every time you step out.

Can I change the delivery address once I’ve placed my order?

We start processing your order and getting it ready to send to you as soon as we receive it, so unfortunately the delivery address can’t be changed. However, if you realise immediately after placing the order, please contact us straight away – we may be able to help or advise you.

Do you offer gift-wrapping services?

We wrap all online orders with tissue paper and our custom Peony stickers, and none of the garment labels have prices on – so if you’re giving someone a delightful Peony gift, rest assured it’ll arrive wrapped. Please bear in mind that we don’t currently offer bespoke wrapping or gift message options.

Product Information

How can I find the right size?

Many of our clothes are one size, so will fit a range of shapes and sizes. But we also offer a wide range of traditionally-sized clothing too – check the product details and description for the item, as we have made sure to include sizing information.

What should I do if an item I want is out of stock?

Always ask us! Email us at [email protected] or fill in the form on our Contact page. It depends on the specific item and product range – sometimes we’ll know that more are coming back into stock, sometimes an item will be part of a limited range – but we will always do our best to make sure you get the piece you’ve had your eye on.

Where are your products manufactured?

We source our products from all over the world. Many of our clothes are manufactured in Italy, but we also travel across Europe and the Far East to hand-select our ranges.

What materials are used in your clothing?

Our clothing is made from a range of materials and we include fabric information in the product details on our website.

How should I care for and wash the items?

We have included care instructions in our product information on our website, and we recommend checking care labels on the clothing itself before you wash any items.

Account Management

Creating an account is easy – simply go to the My Account page on our website, and follow the instructions under ‘Register’.

How can I reset my password?
