Our Newsroom
Sparking curiosity, one outfit at a time.
We've been shattering gender stereotypes since 2015. Our founder, Jaya Iyer, started Svaha USA after shopping for her space-obsessed daughter and finding only boys’ clothes. She resolved to fill the gaps in the clothing market and help girls express their love for STEAM. Almost a decade later, Svaha has grown to sell a full range of adult clothing, accessories, and STEAM-themed goodies.
STEAM is for everyone -- and Svaha is leading the revolution.
Includes Svaha logos, lifestyle images, and video clips.
A short style guide for referring to Svaha in the press.
