Akira means ‘to have graceful strength’, and also represents the first or middle initials of its founder Priyanth’s family. The brand at its core possesses strong familial ties and a history of perseverance as Priyanth fled the Sri Lankan Civil War as a child. Together, the family rebuilt their lives in Melbourne, and now aim to honour and protect humanity by supporting charities worldwide.
Through its ‘Give Back‘ program, Akira Grateful wants to return the opportunities its founder was given upon arriving in Australia, and is committed to supporting charitable organisations which support those affected by cancer, homelessness, their refugee status, and poverty.
SisterWorks is truly grateful to partner with an organisation that actively works to give back to the community, and we are excited for the future.
