The L | L Story
The idea for L | L came about in early 2018 when Gaby decided she wanted to combine her love for people, and in particular some of her patients that she felt especially connected to, with her passion for beautiful clothing. The idea was to empower ladies by sending them on sewing courses and then guide them in the making of beautiful garments - drawing from nature for inspiration and only using natural fibers. This line has now been named L | L - Created by Healed Hands.
We had also been brewing up some other creative business ideas, including ceramics and art inspired by nature and sourcing beautiful homeware seen whilst travelling. We lay in bed for hours together, dreaming and planning and before we knew it, our concept for L | L was born.
We are far from business savvy (but luckily we have our very capable business partners Cam and Doug) and we definitely don't pretend to know the first thing about the fashion industry. But we are excited to give it a shot and hopefully we can share the way we see the world and what we love through L | L.

No words can describe our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the phenomenal Esjay and Liv & Light team.
THANK YOU to the Esjay team and the Esjay community for supporting the 'for her' range. A total of R40 000 has already been raised for Angels Care Centre and the Jes Foord Foundation. You are touching the lives of so many women and children that have been victims of gender based violence and sexual assault.
Our country has the highest rate of sexual assault in the world OVER 60% of those cases are children under the age of 16. Stand with us, support the Esjay initiative and let us all make a difference together.
AND remember you are MORE THAN ENOUGH.
Thank you Esjay for inspiring all of us to be more and to be the change we want to see in the world.

This range is a response. A response to gender-based violence and oppression. We are two ‘small’ businesses using our platforms and means with the hope to make some kind of difference, because we believe we have a responsibility to STAND up and continue the FIGHT that so many before us weren’t able to. This range aims to bring awareness and raise funds to help women who are victims of violence and abuse in South Africa and around the world. The print is made up of faces of some of the women who have succumbed to this fate in our country.

ALL profits of this range will be donated to two organizations who provide care and support for women in their communities.

This range protests CHANGE + LOVE.
It’s; for her, with kindness, courage and strength.
