Returning to the roots of our true nature
NAGA means naked in Slovenian — raw, bare, true.
YA – the sacred name of God in Hebrew, breath of the eternal. Together evoking a return to essence — what is natural, timeless and divine.
How it all started
After seven years of studying fashion design it was in my final year of high school that something quietly shifted. A gentle pull toward natural materials began to awaken in me. During the last years of university I devoted myself to knitwear and slowly uncovered the essence of working with natural fibers — I felt honest, grounded, alive. What began as study turned into a path of intention: to reclaim what was left behind, to create with care and to let clothing carry all the universal energies I intentionally weave into each piece. From quiet beginnings my journey continues — rooted in patience, the sacred rhythm of the universe and eternal love for mama Earth.
Sustainability
Healing through feeling
Fashion is more than just what we wear — it’s a reflection of how we live and how we connect with the world around us. I create each garment with deep respect for the materials I use. Your second skin — quality clothes that feels elegant, pure and timeless. I handcraft each piece from natural, biodegradable and low-impact materials giving your body and the Earth what it truly deserves.
I use what already exists: luxury deadstock and vintage yarns sourced from local fashion houses. These are materials that would otherwise be discarded and I believe they deserve a second life. That’s why I create made-to-order comfort pieces and one of a kind custom designs, each crafted with love and care in approximately 5 to 40 hours. Due to limited resources each design is produced in very small series.
Why produce more if what we need has already been produced? This question shapes everything I do. Through slow creation and deep intention I aim to bring mindfulness back into clothing. When you wear one of my pieces you’re not just wearing a garment — you’re connecting with nature, sustainability and with a deeper sense of care for the world.
Nature gives and in the end nature takes. Our skin breathes and our bodies deserve to be wrapped in materials that honour this connection. I create not just clothing but a gentle reminder: we are nature too. In my belief, nature provides us with everything we need and we should honour that by making conscious, mindful choices. Together we can create a world where fashion and nature coexist in harmony.
As seen in
It means a lot to see my work recognized and shared by others who feel the essence behind it. Below is a feature that reflects a mindful approach to creation – where each piece carries a story, an intention and a quiet return to what truly matters. A glimpse into the deeper vision of NAGAYA.
