At HAYAQI, we believe that true elegance extends beyond aesthetics. It encompasses a mindful approach to fashion, one that honors both our planet and the rich tapestry of global cultures that inspire & form us. Grounded in the harmonious blend of "Hayat" (life) and "Qi" (vital energy), we strive to create pieces that embody both enduring style and responsible practices.
As we introduce the RASA collection, we invite you to explore our perspective on sustainable style, a philosophy that aligns seamlessly with our core values of community, curiosity, quality, and harmony.
The HAYAQI Approach to Sustainable Style
For us, sustainability is not a fleeting trend, but a fundamental principle. It's about creating garments that are not only beautiful but also thoughtfully produced and designed to last. Here's how we integrate this into our brand:
1. Ethical Production and Community Engagement:
-
Fair Labor Practices: We are committed to ethical production practices that ensure fair wages and safe working conditions for all involved.
-
Building a Connected Community: We foster direct relationships with our local artisans, and work together closely to create a collaborative and supportive community.
2. Sourcing with Integrity
-
Natural and Durable Materials: We work with natural fabrics such as 100% cotton, responsibly sourced, and handwoven in the traditional way. We work with natural dyes as much as possible, powered by nature’s colors.
- Minimizing Waste: We work closely with our suppliers to reduce waste throughout the production process, ensuring responsible resource management. One small example of how this plays out is through the creation of our loved HAYAQI tote bags, which are carefully crafted from leftover materials.
3. Design for Longevity
-
Timeless Aesthetics: HAYAQI designs are created with a focus on enduring style, transcending fleeting trends and focusing on comfort, and versatility. You can wear our fits whether you go dancing, travelling, or meeting loved ones for a meal.
- Versatile Pieces: Our garments are designed to be versatile, allowing for multiple styling options and reducing the need for excessive purchases. You can wear our items as sets, or style them with your favorite other items to create an entirely new fresh look.
4. Cultural Exploration and Harmonious Living:
-
Celebrating Cultural Heritage: HAYAQI draws inspiration from diverse cultural traditions, celebrating the richness and beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
-
Promoting Harmonious Living: We believe that sustainable fashion is an integral part of living in harmony with nature and our communities, fostering a sense of balance and respect.
