Founded in 2006, Grai was born from the desire to create the quintessential

leather coat and jacket. Designer Maya Yogev conceptualizes her creations

by melding soft textured fabrics alongside heavier, more substantial materials.

With a strong interest in natural history, Maya designs organically by draping

the body while forming seams and contours inspired by insects shells, feathers

and bones. As a result, her designs work around the human figure, like a sculpture.

Grai is an extension of who Maya is, encompassing all of her interests from the

Victorian Era and Russian ballet to punk rock and gothic esthetics. Her designs
cater to women of all ages who share an eye for high quality and sophisticated

individuality.

Maya earned her degree from Otis College of Art & Design. Immediately following

graduation, she spent 2 years working in Paris. Upon returning to Los Angeles,

she worked on various collaborations with designer Dr. Romanelli. Most notably,

the “Black Sabbath Resurrection” collaboration.
