About Lav and Kush…

What’s in a name?
The name Lav and Kush is derived from Hindu mythology, and the tale of the Ramayan which is also the beginning of Diwali. The story revolves around Lord Rama, his wife Sita and their sons Lava and Kush who were exiled into the forest for many years. These little brothers became protector of the woods and had many adventures. A huge celebration occurred upon their return to society which later become known as Diwali, India’s largest celebration signifying the New Year as well as triumph over evil, bringing light into darkness. Having been told this beloved tale at a young age, earth lover Angela was determined to name her future fashion brand Lav and Kush. Sustainability and giving back being at the root of the brand’s values.
Being a mother of two little ones, the designer felt a huge need for stylish, versatile yet comfortable clothing. She quickly realized many other women felt the same. Inspired by her business life and life with kids, Lav and Kush was born. She has a commitment to providing women and families with "stressless" mornings, fashionable clothing that can be worn everyday, all day.
What does the future hold? Let's say a dream of owning factories in developing countries with full transparency to consumers, helping to lift and empower others and continue building the Lav and Kush brand by designing more cute and comfy pieces. Thanks for visiting!
