The Araya collection draws inspiration from deserts' resilient beauty and enduring nature, paralleling these qualities with the essence of womanhood. The carefully selected palettes of colors within this collection serve as reminders of the elemental forces that govern arid lands. Hues of dust, soil, and clay are present, symbolizing the earthy connection and grounding within oneself.

The longing for water, a scarce resource in deserts, reflects the depth of emotions and the yearning for nourishment and growth in women's lives. The supremacy of the blue skies, vast and limitless, signifies the boundless potential and freedom that women possess.

By infusing the spirit of deserts into the Araya collection, it celebrates the arid landscapes' resilience, strength, longevity, and the diverse facets of womanhood. The collection seeks to evoke a sense of empowerment, reminding women of their ability to thrive and endure life's challenges while embracing their unique beauty and inner strength. The materials that we used are mostly upcycled and deadstock fabrics.

Laili Lau is a brand characterized by thoughtful design. Founded in Caracas, Venezuela, and mixed with a vibrant Latin American and Asian heritage, every garment she designs becomes an artistic expression of her multicultural identity, celebrating the beauty of diversity and the strength of femininity.
