What AIAYU actually does

AIAYU is a Copenhagen fashion and homeware brand founded in 2005 by Maria Høgh Heilmann, built around natural, undyed materials like organic cotton, cashmere, and Sartuul, yak and llama wool. The brand works with craftspeople in Bolivia, Nepal, India and Europe, and offers a repair service to extend the life of its garments.

“There is something noble about the button. You sense it immediately. When I wear it, it transforms into a piece of jewelry.”

Caroline Vogel, Founder, corali

Where the model shows up

  • Material sourcing: natural, largely undyed fibers including organic cotton, cashmere and specialty wools.
  • Repair service: a dedicated repair program designed to extend the working life of garments rather than encourage replacement.
  • Collaborations: partnerships with craft brands such as corali for handmade recycled-silver and gemstone buttons.

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

AIAYU supports SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) through its focus on natural, undyed materials and a formal repair service built to keep garments in use longer, rather than the disposable-fashion model common in the industry.
