Our Mission

At SOLAI, we craft sustainably made wearable art — pieces laced with myth, memory, and magic. Each garment is designed to awaken the archetypes within: the Siren, the Empress, the Alchemist, and beyond.

We believe fashion is more than fabric — it’s a psychological tool, a ritual, a reclamation. Our commitment to the earth is inseparable from our devotion to beauty, ensuring every piece is as kind to the planet as it is empowering to the wearer.

Our Atelier: Solai's Creative Hub

Tucked near the banks of the Danube River in Galați, Romania, our atelier is the heart of SOLAI — a light-filled, modern space where every piece comes to life. Open-plan and alive with collaboration, it’s home to our talented team of women artisans, all rooted in the local community.

Because we own our atelier, we’re able to uphold the highest standards — not just in craftsmanship, but in care. From the quality of each stitch to the atmosphere in which it’s made, everything is guided by intention, respect, and pride. This is a space of artistry, dignity, and deep creative flow — and the soul of every SOLAI piece begins here.

Our offcuts are saved so that they can be appliquéd, patchworked or even upcycled into accessories and other garments!

These are some of the talented women that cut & sew every piece at the atelier, and Lulu (centre), our Operations Manager. Each lady is paid at least a living wage in accordance with the benchmark established by Wage Indicator.

Meet the Team

Sara, Designer & Creative Director

Iranian born multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Sara, has always been heavily inspired by the realms of the subconscious, mythology and antiquity. With sustainability as the central aim, she infuses art & fashion to explore abstract themes of existential spirituality, dreamlike surrealism and ancient symbolism within her work.

Sarah, Director

Sarah created Solai with the goal of blurring the line between art and fashion, all whilst using the medium as a tool to combat climate change. Solai was born from a determination to prove that fashion could be exciting and modern as well as ethically-made & genuinely kind to our environment.
