“Made to fit - Made to last.”
Hello I’m Santhya.
I’m Indian and petite and struggled for years to find beautiful, quality-made garments for my petite-body frame that need no alterations and have a grown-up aesthetic.
Through my cultural background I grew up with unique, artisanal and handcrafted fabrics and learned from a very young age how much confidence, comfort and peace you can find through clothing.
My passion for travel led to a nomad life, with my husband (Will) and my two children (Naila & Jasper), around Asia, where I take in my inspiration for CIMELIA.
