About Rayz Intl

We believe fashion should be authentic, affordable and kind to planet Earth. That’s why our accessories are handmade from natural or recycled fabrics by the talented artisans of Kashmir - the “UNESCO designated city of crafts”. In 2012, solo entrepreneur and mom Shafu Vakil launched her company Rayz Intl– a fashion line for scarves, exotic handbags, & trendy hats in Upstate NY. Born in the valley of Kashmir herself, textiles like cashmere and silk were and continue to be a source of beauty and inspiration for her. She loves picking out the fabrics, colors, and designs of her purses and other accessories together with the artisans who come from parts of the world where skilled craftsmanship is a cultural tradition that is passed down through generations. The relationship between the designer and artisans is an opportunity for creative collaboration across cultures. Her goal is to design and make beautiful, high-quality accessories like our best-selling five-zipper bag with the help of creative craftsmen and women. Thank you for supporting our small business so that we can continue supporting them. We hope that you enjoy wearing our accessories! Read their story
