Hi, from Layaa® 👋

Guess what… We’re changing the rules!

Layaa® is a female-founded start-up built on a core belief: how we choose to dress communicates who we are, while also affecting how we experience the world.

While we know that clothes can’t solve all the world’s problems, our goal is to take the work out of getting dressed, so that you can focus on the work that matters to you. When women succeed, the world becomes a better place.

Layaa® is the result of years spent searching and failing to find clothes with the attitude and ambition to match our own.

Our Goal

We are on a mission to upgrade the office dress code and help women dress like they mean business. Through confident clothes and an inspiring community, we are creating a movement that is all about self-expression and exclusivity.

Our clothes are hand-made in South Africa, and in small batches – with care given to each individual garment. This means that you can wear one of our designs without worrying if someone else may be wearing the same thing.

Our Customers

Maybe you’re breaking barriers in the corporate world and need pieces that make you feel comfortable and confident. Or you are working from home (maybe with the kids), and you need an easy-to-style wardrobe that’s both zoom meeting and playtime-friendly. Or maybe you’re running your own business, creating change in your community. We have clothes for you.

Our Team

Frustrated by a lack of women’s workwear options that were both stylish and practical, Our Founder and CEO, Leila, launched Layaa® in 2021. By teaming up with local female tailors, we have been able to build a team of go-getters who are committed to creating a better future for women through our clothing as well as through creating employment as we grow.

All that is left to say is …. WELCOME TO LAYAA®
