Our Story

Anna, the creative designer and founder of Anya Maj, was born and raised in Poland before coming to London when she turned 23 to study her Masters in Real Estate. Despite enjoying her time in London her real passion was fashion design, which lead her to create Anya Maj in 2016. 

 Growing up as a young girl in Poland, Anna noticed quickly that in Poland, fashion wasn’t celebrated and high quality goods were difficult to source. Her fashion icon was her grandmother, who introduced her to her wardrobe that was adorned with luxury fabrics and inspired Anna as a young girl.

Her grandmother would regularly take her on trips to the local tailor where she would admire the process of clothes being made to fit. It was from that point onwards that she became obsessed with designing, and more importantly, obsessed with high quality, hand made pieces that had been created with true craftsmanship. 

Anna decided to create a brand that would deliver high-end luxurious products, but still is affordable to the consumer. Silk is the fabric that lays the foundations of her brand, as she always has believed that silk is breathable and you always feel beautiful when wearing it. 

To keep herself inspired to create fresh collections, Anna is a regular traveller as well as a history fanatic, and a lot of her designs she describes as being ‘a fusion of East and West’, with her garments having eastern traditional designs and colours but has been modified to be in line with contemporary western expectations. This means that the colours are vibrant and stand out to what else is out there on the market.

Over the years Anna has visited multiple countries within Africa, Asia and Europe but one of her favourite places is the South of France, where she loves wearing her silk garments in the warm summer air. 

Anna’s vision for her brand is for women to wear sustainable products, made from high quality fabrics and to in turn, detox their wardrobe!
