Elexiay is a sustainable brand creating hand made clothes with recyclable crochet techniques. The brand was created with the intention to make a positive impact by using locally sourced yarn to ensure artisans are paid fair wages.

Modern textiles rely heavily on petrochemical products that come from many of the same oil and gas companies driving greenhouse gas emissions. Today, in fact, fashion accounts for up to 10% of global carbon dioxide output—more than international flights and shipping combined, according to the United Nations Environment Programme.

Elexiay is a fashion brand that highlights Nigerian craftsmanship sustainably. Nigeria is blessed with rich history, heritage and craftsmanship which Elexiay explores, focusing majorly on crochet and knits. Crochet is an ancient skill which has been confined for years to certain garments. Elexiay is redefining crochet from being known as ‘grandma’s clothing’. Using knowledge passed down from generation to generation, Elexiay is skillfully making clothes without machines with the aim of producing clothes that cause little to no harm to the environment. All of the company crochet pieces are handmade and recyclable.
