What if clothing could hold a story worth telling?

A real one — one of hands and craft, and the slow, deliberate process of making something that lasts.

We are Aaqib & Livy, HAYAQI's founders and partners in life. Together, we represent 6 cultures and languages. We love to honour our roots, and we have a shared passion for exploring cultures across the world, and telling the real stories of real people, honouring the people and the crafts that keep ancient cultures alive.

Transcending and harmonizing cultures is deeply embedded into our DNA: learning and sharing the stories from each unique culture, honouring the traditions and stories, whilst modernizing our interpretation of it, translating into timeliness threads, timeless tales for the curious voyagers.

We launch limited edition, small-batch capsule collections, with each collection focused on a different culture we love. Our pieces are limited by design, not by accident. We work with talented artisans who keep ancient crafts alike. They carry knowledge in their hands, in a way that factories cannot replicate. This means that no two pieces are the same: every single item is unique, and tells a story.

Preserving traditional craft and following ethical practices is important to us. We collaborate with local artisans, honor cultural heritage and knowledge, and engage local communities at every step of the HAYAQI process.
