Living Ahava

The collection

The current line organised by category. Almost everything is made on demand or in small short runs, so colourways and specific designs rotate. If you've seen a piece in a previous drop, email us. We sometimes bring favourites back.

Custom & wholesale

Custom apparel for community groups (churches, family reunions, organisation events) is a real part of what we do. Minimum order quantities apply — typically 12+ pieces per design. Wholesale (for boutique resellers) starts at 24+ pieces per style.

Email [email protected] with rough quantity and design notes to start.

Sizing & care

Women's runs true to US sizing. Men's runs slightly relaxed (size down if you prefer fitted). Kids' runs slightly large (most parents prefer it). Detailed size charts published per product page; if you're between sizes, email us before ordering and we'll send specifics.

Care: machine washable cold, hang or lay flat to dry. Print pieces should be turned inside-out before washing to protect the design.
