DESERT FLOWER Collection

lla is a conscious brand on the journey of luxurious sustainable fashion. A brand where nature and opulence coexist marrying ancient wisdom and natural materials with modern influences and European construction. This is recognized most significantly in the way Illa uses textiles such as leather in unconventional ways while designs are sophisticated and uniquely timeless.


Illa’s Desert Flower Collection inspired by the designers travels and roots in India and Africa presented at Vancouver Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2025 show in October 2024. Core textiles used in the collection include: leather, silk, bamboo, and cotton constructed with the highest quality Japanase silk and Egyptian cotton threads. The Desert Flower Collection includes movement, flow, soft colours with vibrant pops. Applique details and handwork speak to the designers couture influence and training.


Leather use is influenced by the philosophy and practices from Indian and native traditions in which consumption is circular and in harmony with nature. These cultures give us lessons on how to consume in alignment with the environment. Working with nature where to use the entire animal and all parts of it out of respect for the earths’ gifts. This includes the skin which is compostable and sustainable with its ability to withstand decades and even lifetimes of use. Illa chooses this method over polyester and vegan leathers made from plastic and oil that do not compost polluting the soil, water and air.


Illa’s strives to contribute to advances in sustainability within the fashion industry while creating timeless pieces designed to be sophisticated, edgy, glamorous and fun.

*Spring/Summer 2025 collection is made in Canada.
