At H.LAY, we are inspired by the diaspora. Inspired by the ways we subvert and redefine social norms in the spaces we inhabit. Inspired by the limitless strength and creativity we carry on our paths to find meaning in who we are. No matter how far we travel or how we are perceived, the diaspora is never lost. We hold our own pens, create our own values, and centre our own stories.

Our stories are written in community and grown through connection. They are rooted in deep, complicated histories. And in them lies our collective futures.  

Stories are who we all are.

And it is this story—this spirit of holistic connectedness, consciousness and understanding— that forms the basis of our brand ethos. It informs how our clothes are made and the bodies they are made for. And they form our foundational roots.

Community. Spirit. Story-telling. 

We hope we can write this story together.
