Ayinat by Taniya OConnor

Ayinat loves all things Indian. From the parrots that predict our future to the gota that decorate our temples. Whether its the neon cityscapes bursting at the seam or villages struggling to keep simplicity intact... there is inspiration to be found everywhere!

The label celebrates the contrast of classic elegance with the chaotic vibrancy that is India! Using traditional techniques and silhouettes mixed in with modern fabrics and contemporary styling, Ayinat creates simple, fun, happy Indian attire.
