Jamie Lim an inspiring designer, born in Texas and raised in Hong Kong. With her artist eye and a blend of both surroundings she birthed KAYU. The word KAYU means "wood". All of her products are handmade and used with natural materials. Jamie had a love for bamboo since a young age, so in 2008 she incorporated bamboo as the star of her first eyewear collection. Then in 2010 the the collection expanded, with a line of bags. I think what made this collection unique, is the classic shape with the edgy detailed print. All of the totes and clutches are made from shell and straw.

When you purchase a pair of shades and or bag, 2% of the purchase is going towards non-profit organizations. The 2% goes to Awareness Cambodia and Unite for Sight; one-sight restoring surgery for every eyewear sold and a backpack with school supplies for each bag sold.
"Everything I do is inspired by the people I meet and the places I visit. KAYU was created as an expression of joy and gratefulness - for family, for love, for life, and I'm so happy to share this journey with you." -Jamie Li
