Silky Sleek the brand
Our Story
My name is Laura, and I started Silky Sleek with one clear mission: to normalize headwear in everyday fashion — not as a necessity, but as a powerful style statement. After losing my hair for a year due to alopecia, I couldn’t find any stylish headwear that made me feel strong, feminine, and beautiful. Everything either looked medical or religious — never fashionable.
With my background as a fashion photographer, I decided to change that. I began designing luxurious, comfortable, and pre-made headwear that enhances your look — whether you have hair or not.
My hair has since fully grown back — a reminder that anything is possible. Silky Sleek is here to celebrate your strength and your style. Headwear is not a limitation — it’s your statement.
Silky Sleek: A Mix & Match Concept
Silky Sleek is a complete fashion concept. Mix and match your headwraps, turbans, and scarves with coordinating kimonos, wrap skirts, palazzo pants, or crop tops. Every piece is pre-made — no wrapping skills needed. Practical yet stylish, from workouts to beach days.
All items are designed and made in Europe.
A New Chapter in 2025
In 2025, I shifted my role back to Founder & Creative Director, so I could fully focus on design and storytelling. Day-to-day operations have been handed over to my partner Leah Attruia, based in the United States. Thanks to Leah, Silky Sleek is now also directly available in the US. As someone with lived experience, she deeply understands the needs of our community.

Partnering with Silky Sleek has been a transformative journey for me, both personally and professionally. Living with alopecia universalis, feeling confident in my appearance hasn’t always been easy.
