Our beginning was a surrender.
Like many, our founder, Elara Hayes, lived tethered to the city’s schedule, surrounded by the fleeting noise of fast fashion and the relentless pace of the expected. Yet, deep within, there was a persistent hum—a profound longing for authenticity, the unique heartbeat of nature, and the boundless freedom of the open road.
The search for this ‘something more’ led to an escape: a one-way ticket to the turquoise havens and sun-drenched shores of Southeast Asian islands. It was here, where the jungle met the ocean, that the rhythm of life slowed, and the senses awakened.
The revelation wasn’t found in a grand monument, but in the quiet studios of local artisans. In their patient hands, raw elements were transformed into wearable art. We saw the true beauty in the temperature of the handmade—the slight imperfections that tell a deeper, more honest story than any machine ever could. This was the spirit we were craving.
Sohvara was born from that moment of realization.
We set out to create more than just earrings; we crafted souvenirs of the wanderer, designed to be a tangible link between the distant horizon and your everyday reality. Each pair is a whisper of the sea breeze, a trace of jungle shadow, and a constant reminder that the free spirit you found on that journey is always by your side.
Sohvara is your gentle invitation to keep wandering, even when you are home.
