In this episode of “D Sustainability Issue” Podcast Dessie welcomes Kayane Mahrejian. Kayane is a construction engineer for 27 years turned fashion designer, who followed her dream to establish her own fashion brand - Kaiane Designs. The brand is a platform of artistic expression and a sharing of her own life experiences about love, travel, passion and conscious living.

Armenian by origin, Kayane has lived in Lebanon and travelled through the Middle East a lot due to her work as a civil engineer. This is where she got inspired by the cultures of the people she worked with - especially in Saudi Arabia.

Her designs are mostly comprised by knits, which are made of natural materials, and mostly handwoven. She creates them through collaborating with women artisans from around the world that she strives to empower.

Furthermore, they are a Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Partner of the United Nations
