From sari to soul – upcycling tradition into conscious accessories
arrow_backTo the overview06 August 2025 | LAYA CPH
At LAYA, we breathe new life into traditional saris once worn by women across Nepal. These richly coloured fabrics, full of personal stories, are carefully selected and transformed into meaningful accessories — pouches, scrunchies, bags and more.
Each piece is sewn by women in Kathmandu through social enterprises that empower them with skills and economic independence. No two items are the same — each one is a fragment of a past life, reimagined for a conscious future.

LAYA CPH
LAYA Copenhagen is a design brand made for women who know what they want.
The collection is built from cashmere, dhaka textile, silk, and handwoven natural fibres — materials with character that carry the mark of the people behind them. Each piece is created in collaboration with Nepalese artisans, whose skill and culture are visible in every meter and every fold.
LAYA presents Nepal as it is: a source of extraordinary craftsmanship, living culture, and women with pride in their hands.
Design over decoration. Substance over noise.
