The Danish brand Aiayu was founded in 2004 with the mission to create sustainable and high quality textile products. With the aim never to compromise and to keep the concept simple and transparent, their designs have become new classics, lasting long beyond fashion, colours and shapes. The first Aiayu products to conquer the hearts of fashionistas and quality conscious women were their sustainable knitwear made from the wool of the Bolivian llama.
