Zaya and Kai
Introducing Zaya & Kai, the lifestyle brand born in the tranquil waters of Byron Bay. Their dedicated efforts are directed towards fashion sustainability, encouraging an outdoor lifestyle, and prioritising natural materials to foster the well-being of children and the planet for generations.
In 2018, Maria’s heart and vision expanded into a realm of tiny wonders as friends welcomed their newborns. These precious souls, poised to explore the beauty of the world for the first time, ignited a spark within her.
With a lifelong passion for textile design, harmonious living with nature, and embracing a low-tox lifestyle, Maria’s trajectory became abundantly clear.
Starting as a market stall in and around the Byron Shire, Zaya & Kai has evolved into a brand available online and in retail stores across Australia, America, and Europe. Their range now includes sustainable pieces for women and children, along with gritty ceramics handcrafted in sunny Byron Bay. For real-time updates and locations, explore their Instagram.
