ALAIYO has a global partnership pairing creators and designers from around the world with makers in Pakistan, India, and Mexico in accordance with high ethical standards to create original, beautiful products.  And the best part is that using part of the proceeds from the sales of the products, designers created literacy programs for the makers so that they have opportunities to learn reading, writing, and basic math that they would not otherwise have.

Artisans make Alaiyo’s watercolors into wearable, beautiful products, in a sustainable way. 

There are now 20 products available. When you make your preorder, she will provide custom made products. (which makes the 100% modal scarves, totes, shirts, pillows, wraps, leather, canvas, cotton and linen items very reasonable.)

A few examples of chosen images and products from the line are below:

NIGHT

Alaiyo wanted this pillow to capture the shape of the original painting and the feeling of a relaxing experience:  “Night” was created as one in a three-part series of nest images entitled “Mid-Summer, Nights, Dream.” The watercolor depicts a nest enveloping our planet in the solar system with the sun shining upon it. This product was the first to sell.

NIGHT Accent Pillow-Matte Square

MID-SUMMER

This fantasy painting, showing the fairy in a nest looking up at the world that surrounds her is the first in the triptych entitled “Mid-Summer, Nights, Dream.”

MID-SUMMER Sheer Wrap

TOYS IN A BASKET

This children’s book image is from Felicia’s Favorite Story. The watercolor reflects the age of the main character and the belongings she possesses.

TOYS IN A BASKET Tote Bag

Alaiyo is thrilled to share this collection with you — just reach out to Alaiyo alaiyo@alaiyobradshaw.com to order any one (or more!) of these items, and don’t forget to let her know you are a first time buyer to get 10% off.  Your purchases will help give back the gift of literacy.

Enjoy!
