About Us
VAYRE is an advanced contemporary brand rooted in the values of a new feminine and deep sustainability. Founded in 2021, we have pushed through the challenges of global pandemic and social chaos to initiate a collection that expresses our unique voice in the industry for the first time.Sharp and sophisticated, the VAYRE collection is season-less, and highly wearable. Taking inspiration from nature, architecture, and the work of our favorite artists, the VAYRE gaze is that of the New Feminine who is emerging NOW.
Our first collection is an exploration in minimizing our environmental impact on the planet while adding newness and beauty to it. Our business model is embedded with sustainable values, materials, processes. Often, we have designed around recycled fibers, transforming existing resources rather than consuming new ones. We have partnered with vertical manufacturers in Italy, Portugal, and Turkey, to reduce our carbon, footprint. We have consciously designed a collection that accentuates the natural elegance of the woman who wears our clothes. As part of our mission, we are always finding new ways to enhance our level of sustainability.
