About Us
At Ayla & Lara, we create timeless, personalised keepsakes for life's precious moments. As a small family business, we know how fleeting time can be. That's why we're dedicated to helping you preserve memories that last a lifetime - because these moments deserve to be cherished forever.
How It All Began
I’m Yaz - wife, mum of three and the hands and heart behind Ayla & Lara. Our story began in 2020, in the beginning of a world that had suddenly slowed down. I was working in the travel industry, helping people plan their dream getaways - until the pandemic shifted everything. With the world on pause and creativity calling, I decided to make a night light for my daughter Ayla.
That simple project lit the spark that became Ayla & Lara.
A Small Start With Big Dreams
What started in our spare room, surrounded by kids, toys, unfolded laundry and cups of cold coffee, grew into a family-run business filled with purpose. Today, we work from our cosy studio but our mission remains the same: to create timeless, meaningful keepsakes that help families honour the moments that matter.
What Matters Most
Ayla & Lara is named after our daughters and inspired by the beautiful, fleeting magic of childhood. We believe that memories deserve to be preserved - not just in photos, but in pieces you can hold, treasure and pass down.
We’re here to help you capture those memories and turn them into keepsakes that last for years to come.
Thank you for being here, for supporting our dream and letting us be part of your story.
