Across the seven seas

My parents, originally from India, moved to Norway in the early 70's. My father ran a garment factory in India, selling large quantities of white cotton blouses and elastic-waist pants, especially in the 80's. As a child, I spent time in my parents’ stores—not designing yet, but mastering cash counting.

Fashion felt like a natural career path, so I studied at Esmod in Oslo. After graduating, my brother and I launched the brand “Dia Dia” and opened a women’s boutique in Sandvika. At just 23, I catered to a more mature clientele, learning firsthand how comfort and fit define confidence. Small details—sleeve length, armhole space, and flattering cuts—shaped my approach, leading me to develop an extended size chart up to 4XL.

By 2016, I was ready for change. I experimented with bold colors and feminine details, designing the Aisha dress. It didn’t sell well, making me realize my brand had plateaued. In 2017, I reintroduced the dress under a new name—MISSMAYA, inspired by my eldest daughter. A fresh campaign, a model in sneakers and sunglasses, and a spontaneous webshop launch later—we had sold 20,000 dresses. It felt like a little fairytale!

Our Design Philosophy

Our philosophy is that balance is key, which is mirrored in the core style of the brand: Romantic femininity mixed with Scandinavian aesthetics.

In MISSMAYA’s collections you will always find feminine details, playful, bold prints and colors equally balanced with clean lines, laid-back silhouettes and nude tones. A well-put-together yet not too polished look that takes women from the office to drinks, is the effortless aesthetic MISSMAYA is defined by.

Fit has always been a key focus for us, and over the years, we've developed a deep understanding of just how important the right fit is for both comfort and style. Our goal is for our clothing to inspire confidence and a sense of well-being, no matter your size or shape.

Relations & Sustainability

We are a family-owned business with a strong focus on close relationships and quality at every level. We have a close partnership with our skilled collaborators in India, whom we visit 2–3 times a year. These trips allow us to maintain an open and positive dialogue while ensuring that both the quality and working conditions meet our high standards. Additionally, we stay in daily contact with the team there, enabling us to work flexibly and create collections with passion and precision.

Sustainability is a vital part of our work, and we are committed to creating collections that respect both the environment and people. We continuously strive to select high-quality, durable materials. Our goal is to design timeless pieces that last and bring joy season after season. Through small but conscious choices, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry.
