second, each finely crafted piece is made-in-house to lower its
environmental impact; We are taking a step toward doing our part. Hawks Ave is created with sustainable and eco conscious fabrics.

Jersey separates, made from bamboo and organic cotton with unique
artwork tastefully placed, complimented by organic denim jeans hand finished to complete the line.

Angela Saxena, Lav & Kush
Angela had a passion for design from childhood, drawing nurses wearing pretty outfits in her fathers medical books at 7 years of age. First claim to fame was at 8 , getting into the Archies comic book series designing for Betty and Veronica.
The Saskatchewan native then moved to Vancouver to study Fashion Design at Kwantlen College University, and went on to create Lav and Kush, years later after building retail relationships by owning her own sales agency. Inspired by the plight of the environment, and the need to connect fashion with social and environmental awareness, Lav and Kush was born. Lav and Kush blends sustainability with style, offering beautiful feminine and flirty items that , up until now, was virtually non existent in the eco market. Lav and Kush is now proudly sold in over 50 boutiques across Canada and the U.S. in just over 2 years! The response at retail AND consumer level has been fantastic, making Lav and Kush a favorite among eco ( and non eco) fashionistas everywhere!
