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.
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.

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.
I absolutely love it! The fit is great, its beautifully made! Very size inclusive and just overall amazing! I definitely recommend!
Also a nice plus, is came so fast!
They’re absolutely stunning and just elevate the simplest of looks so well.
If you feel like spoiling yourself do it!
Also, if anyone was worried about the sizing of these, I’m a UK 10 in most shops and the medium fits very well (even when bloated), and the sash detail gives you additional room to adjust for comfort. Can’t recommend this brand enough, the ethos and quality are top notch!
Very cosy material. I needed to switch sizes and the customer service in regards to this was great. I really like the look of the skirt and if you dont want the dungaree section of it one day the length of the skirt lets you hide them inside which I though was great
This jacket is so lovely. The shape is relaxed and cool, the fabric is so soft, and I love the embroidered moons! It is a one of a kind for sure.
Genuinely one of the best items of clothing I've bought. The design has so many little unique touches, the fabric is gorgeous, and it's very comfortable. I get nervous buying expensive clothes but this was 100% worth it. I've gotten a lot of compliments about this. There was quite a big delay in shipping due to a delayed fabric delivery on Solai's end, but they were very sweet about it when I contacted them via email.
Absolutely love this jumper, it is so unique and cool looking. And many many extra points for using recycled wool. Style and sustainability is a winning combo. Solai has gained a new fan in me
It's absolutely fantastic!! If you're planning to wear it over a single thin layer, like a blouse, and would prefer a more snug fit, I'd suggest to size down.
Really great quality! It’s super sturdy and the fit is perfect. It’s such a beautiful piece and the embroidery is so unique and pretty!
Even though it's a simple black dress, you won't find another one like it. Wearing this makes me feel effortlessly done-up and sophisticated. It's gorgeously made; the material is thick and I seems like it will stand the test of time. The sleeves fit a little long as how it looks in the photos, and I would say the sizing is accurate as I got an S as a size 8/10 and it fits well. I think if you have sensitive skin you may find it itchy as it's wool, but you can easily wear thin layers underneath it.
The coat came very nicely and securely packaged, it fits beautifully , I’ve already received so many compliments ! It is a great weight, not too heavy but feels good quality and sturdy. It is very well made and I’m sure it will last me a long time !
I am a size 10-12 (more like a 12) and went for a Size S on the website, it fits great, with room for a jumper underneath for colder weather. I’m 5’11 and it reaches down to my calves.
Overall I am over the moon with my coat and so happy to be able to wear some beautiful art.
I will be buying again!
Thankyou
Looks exactly as gorgeous as on the picture. Beautiful colours and the feel of the fabric is so comfy. I love it. I am 172 cm, and 70 kg and ordered an L to be on the safe side. The M would probably fit too. Just to give a tip to people who are not sure about the size.
Obsessed with these bloomers! They are amazing quality and so comfortable and cute at the same time. As a short person the length is not too long either, they’ll be perfect with a short heel. Highly recommend!
Absolutely thrilled to be giving this as a Christmas gift, wonderful workmanship & excellent communication from Sarah. My daughter was so surprised & delighted!
I got the scorpion jacket. It is well made and versatile with any outfit. It's a heavy coat with generous pockets
I am just so pleased with this jacket, although my boyfriend has hidden it away from me until Christmas day, but I have tried it on and absolutely love it! So soft and warm and unusual, just so impressive. The team were so communicative throughout and you can really tell that they are all invested in their product. It really is wearable art and I can't wait to show it off!
