Support Ayo Boutique: Empower Global Designers
Donation protected
My name is Durell Paige, Founder of Ayo Boutique and Ayo University, a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting and empowering fashion designers globally. What started as a small idea in 2018—to bring designers together under one roof—has grown into a powerful movement, fostering creativity, collaboration, and success for over 400 designers from around the world.
Through Ayo University, we provide upcoming designers with the essential resources they need to build a thriving brand—from graphic designers, content creators and manufacturers to expert stitchers and business mentors, Professional photoshoots and more. Too often, talented designers struggle alone, overwhelmed by the challenges of sourcing materials, producing collections, and marketing their work. We are changing that.
We’ve battled through challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which only reinforced our mission: to create a global network where designers don’t just survive—they thrive. In 2023, we officially became a nonprofit to expand our impact and reach even more creatives in need.
But we can’t do this alone.
Your support—whether through donations or contributions of materials—will help us:
✅ Provide essential resources like fabric, stitching services, and mentorship
✅ Purchase professional fixtures, electronics, Mannequins and flooring for build out.
✅ Hire contractors and purchase building materials for new flooring, lighting and renovations needed.
✅ Inspire our entire movement to stay motivated as we build our 3rd store location for designers.
Every donation, big or small, fuels the dreams of talented designers who just need the right support to succeed. Join us in shaping the future of fashion—because no creative should have to build their dream alone.
Donate today and be part of something bigger!
