Who is behind “Las Bayadas”?

Who is behind “Las Bayadas”?

In 2009, Laetitia, a French woman in love with Mexico, left everything and moved to Sayulita, a small village on the Pacific coast. There she fell in love with a traditional fabric that local surfers use as a large beach towel.

Inspired by her many travels throughout Mexico, this textile designer revisits this great fabric by adding joyfully colored stripes.

The designer did not need anything else to come up with a whole range of products and found Las Bayadas.

What is the origin of the name "Las Bayadas"?

What is the origin of the name "Las Bayadas"?

Las Bayadas is a unique word, inspired by a very French practice... In Molière’s language, the word “Bayadère” designates a fabric composed of large colored stripes. And it is by diverting a very French habit consisting in adding an "o" or an "a" at the end of words to give them a Spanish consonance that this unique name “Las Bayadas” was born, a perfect translation of this double Mexican and French identity!

Collection after collection, as a wink, each product of Las Bayadas brand gets a traditional Mexican name, often ending with an "o" or an "a": “El Roberto”, “La Lucia”…
