TEYLA is a high-end active wear brand founded by two west Africans based in Montreal, Canada.

ABOUT THE BRAND

This the story of 2 friends, Lola & Kanyi, sharing the same love for their African roots, beautiful clothes and healthy lifestyle.

All started with Kanyi, calling Lola to discuss the idea of creating a clothing line of high-performance training gear with a connection to their African roots.
This call was so productive that they decided to put their skills together to create workout clothes that would not only provides you comfort and support, but also connects you to your inner voice to keep you confident and motivated.

The name "TEYLA" actually came from the way cloth designer are called in some West Africans' countries: "Tailor". Saying it with the accent gives you "TEYLA" :)
