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.
“Laya is a luxury brand that embodies the spirit of island living, where every day feels like an indulgent escape,” reads the website. “Our mission is to craft swimwear that makes you feel confident and beautiful. Inspired by a childhood lived in Mauritius, Laya draws you into a tropical lifestyle we all desire. Our designs transcend seasons and trends, ensuring our swimwear remains a treasured possession.”
