Seven Favorite Things: Sustainable Luxury Pieces from SF Designers Mina + Olya
06 December 2012
Best friend designer duo Mina + Olya is a relatively new creative force that's poised to take the city by storm. Founded in 2011 by Olga Dzilikhova and Mina Yazdi, the sophisticated line offers sustainable, organic high-end garments for style-savvy, urban women. Produced entirely in California, each piece is hand finished, meaning every garment can stand the test of time. Looking to their moms' closets for inspiration, the brand's aesthetic is timeless and classy–mixed with modern edge. Owner and co-founder Olga Dzilikhova explained, "We believe our unique apparel will be enjoyed for years, rather than seasons."
