INSPIRED BY HER DAUGHTER
Sareya gave birth to her daughter, Avanya, on May 17. Just six months later, Avanya was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood eye cancer, retinoblastoma. As an optometrist, Sareya was able to identify and diagnose the condition quickly, but what if she hadn't been an optometrist? Compelled by that question, Sareya has used her knowledge of visual perception to design clothing that attracts attention, creates conversation and spreads awareness about childhood eye cancer. As both an optometrist and a designer, Sareya carefully considers colour, contrast, refraction and reflection when selecting the beads for her collection to create the most impact.
ROOTED IN HER HERITAGE
As an Indo-Canadian woman, Sareya was inspired by the Indian tradition of beading, so she partnered with a third-generation family-owned manufacturer. This family and the garment workers they employ are trained in a beading technique that has been mastered over centuries by people from the region of Uttar Pradesh. Each piece in the collection is beaded, embroidered and sewn by hand on organic cotton and silk.
