Why is this brand called Create Lavender?

Create Lavender is our dedication and commitment to create designs and products that allow you to express who you are.

The meaning of the words.

Create is to bring something into existence from the imagination. Your ideas, your dreams, and your visions.

It is within you as to what you want to put out into this world.

Lavender is a beautiful and aromatic shrub that is held in high regard and has been used throughout generations in fragrances and for medical purposes. It is also the spiritual symbolic meaning that the plant holds that resonates. Lavender represents the calmness of being your authentic self. Of allowing who you are to shine in every aspect of your life. To live a life that you love and to love the life that you live.

Lavender is connectivity.
And community is a lovely thing.
