Times of Suriname

Alongside iconic and established fashion houses, emerging brands also took center stage, bringing fresh perspectives and creativity to the global fashion scene. Among the new brands featured was Blu Saki, a Guyanese-backed Caribbean label specializing in women’s and men’s resort wear as well as home accents. Blu Saki’s fabrics reflect the beauty, vibrancy, and rich colours of Caribbean including the Cayman Islands. The brands including the fabrics are designed by Supriya Singh-Bodden, who is also the founder of the Guyana Foundation, a charitable trust that provides empowerment and skills training through its Sunrise Centers.

The materials used are made from fiber that is 100 percent biodegradable and compostable, making the brand inherently eco-friendly. Beyond fashion, Blu Saki is committed to social impact. A portion of the brand’s revenue supports empowerment training programs in Guyana and other Caribbean countries. The brand operates a flagship retail store in the Cayman Islands, and its collections are sold wholesale to vendors around the world. (Kaieteur News)
