Los Angeles-based luxury brand Laya is shaking up the swimwear scene with their innovative, signature SPF fabric technology. Sustainably made with materials in Spain and France, each high-quality, smooth, flattering Laya piece is crafted with exceptional softness and durability. The brand’s garments are composed of the utmost comfort with a seamless stitching and fully lined with an SPF of 50.

While their latest collection is focused on minimalist, foolproof designs in solid, summery colors, one shade in particular has caught our eye. The brand’s “bamboo pike” is the perfect trendy take on the viral butter yellow hue that is popping up everywhere from TikTok and Pinterest to Vogue catalogues and global fashion week runways of late.
