Our Story
A Tale of Enchantment and Empowerment
Our story begins with the radiant vision of our founder, Harshani, during the tender embrace of her maternity leave. Fuelled by creativity, she transformed her daughter's nap times into a sanctuary of inspiration—a space for designing, researching, market testing, and product testing. In these quiet moments, the vision for Miss Ayana Rose unfolded, a brand transcending time, echoing classic elegance, and celebrating unique, hand-stitched artistry.
Harshani, with a profound passion for timeless classics and quality hand-stitched uniqueness, recognized the need for dresses that embraced both special occasions and everyday adventures. Each piece, meticulously crafted, carries the essence of treasures meant to be passed down through generations.
The whimsical playtime adventures of Harshani's daughter, our beloved namesake, serve as the enchanting muse for our designs. Inspired by innocence and joy, our dresses embody the spirit of childhood, capturing the essence of unforgettable moments.
A Symphony of Creation
Harshani, understanding the challenges of motherhood, envisioned Miss Ayana Rose as a platform to support fellow women and mothers in the small business industry. It became not only her creative outlet but also a beacon for empowering and uplifting women on their entrepreneurial journey.
Proudly designed in Australia, Miss Ayana Rose comes to life through the skilled hands of a talented family of artisans spanning across Australia and Sri Lanka. These artisans, mothers themselves, infuse each embellishment, lace, embroidery, and hand-smocking with love and care, ensuring every dress is a unique masterpiece.
Harshani works directly with these women, creating a collaborative effort that spans continents, connecting hearts and hands in a symphony of creation. This process not only makes our garments accessible to customers but also offers a reliable source of employment to our seamstresses.
Every Stitch is a Spell, Every Garment is a Chapter
We believe that the love and care we put into each dress will be felt as your special little one wears them. Join us on this beautiful journey at Miss Ayana Rose, where each dress is a story waiting to be told, a legacy waiting to unfold. Every stitch is a spell, and every garment is a chapter in your fairy-tale wardrobe.
Once a garment has been completed, our Miss Ayana Rose fairies (Harshani and her mother Priya) lovingly packs and sends the item from Harshani's home in Melbourne, a magical journey to be soon united with its proud new owner. Each parcel carries the essence of our enchanting story, a story that unfolds in the hearts and wardrobes of the precious little ones who wear our creations.
