Our Story

Welcome to PAIVE, your gateway to discovering unique, versatile, and high-quality fashion from small independent designers around the globe. Founded by Sanya Mehta, a seasoned fashion industry professional with over five years of experience, PAIVE is born out of a passion for unique design and sustainable practices.

From Vision to Reality

Sanya’s journey began as the CEO of Papa Don’t Preach, a luxury label in India, where she witnessed firsthand the dedication and craftsmanship that go into every piece. After mentoring and consulting with smaller designers, she realized the immense talent and creativity that were often inaccessible to a broader audience. This inspired her to create PAIVE, a platform where emerging designers from across the world could be discovered and appreciated.

Why PAIVE?

At PAIVE, we curate collections from over 25 independent designers who embrace the principles of slow fashion—creating made-to-order and small batch productions that prioritize quality and sustainability. While slow fashion typically means higher prices and longer wait times, we aim to make these exclusive designs affordable and easily accessible, with seamless shipping and return policies.

Our Promise

We believe that fashion should be unique, sustainable, and enjoyable. Our carefully curated collections are designed to cater to all ages, personalities, and preferences—from modest chic to streetwear and beyond. Each piece we offer stands out with creative versatility and unmatched quality, ensuring you won’t find them at your local mall.

Join the Movement

At PAIVE, we’re not just selling clothes; we’re promoting a movement towards more conscious consumerism. We hope that every piece you find here adds value to your wardrobe and makes you feel great. If you don’t receive an “Oh, I love what you’re wearing!” compliment, then we haven’t done our job right.
