Named after the island off the coast of Madagascar, La Reunion is Nigerian-American Sarah Nsikak's hard work and creativity come to life. Having worked in the fashion industry for several years after completing a Masters Degree in Art Therapy, Nsikak noticed the exorbitant amount of waste generated in the fashion industry and was inspired to create La Réunion: quilted, vibrant, one of a kind garments hand made by Nsikak with love. All Nsikak's pieces are made exclusively using recycled material sourced from fashion designers based in New York. Special textiles are also sourced through vintage stores and estate sales.
La Reunion's many influences include the vibrant stories of African culture, post colonial African countries, ideas surrounding reclaimed beauty, togetherness, color, joy, and inviting oneself back to what was always there all along. It is materializing an idea of sacred and unabashed individuality and everyone is invited.
