Inspiring Conversations with Maya Rice of Lily Maya

Today we’d like to introduce you to Maya Rice

Hi Maya, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Lily Maya was founded in 2023 and launched in 2024 by two sister in laws, Maya Rice and Brandi Sambrano. Our brand was born from a passion for fashion and a desire to blend Brazilian and American styles. Our designs capture the vibrant energy of Brazilian fashion. Each piece is crafted with high-quality materials from the south region of Brazil, embodying elegance and boldness. We create unique, limited-edition pieces that inspire confidence and style. Our mission is to make every woman feel empowered and beautiful in her own skin.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Since our launch earlier this year, one of the most challenging situations has been maintaining our inventory. Most of our exclusive pieces sold out within the first week due to the success of the launch! Restocking and staying on top of international shipping has been an unexpected, yet welcomed challenge.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Lily Maya?
Inspired by the enchanting beauty of Brazil’s coastlines, Lily Maya presents a collection of swimwear and activewear that embodies the essence of Brazilian beach culture with a touch of refined elegance. Each piece is meticulously crafted to blend the laid-back charm of Brazil with sophisticated design elements, creating pieces that stand out.

Our pieces are designed for the modern woman who values quality, comfort, and style. Using only the finest materials and craftsmanship, Lily Maya products make a statement of confidence and beauty.

Designed to flatter every curve, our products come in a variety of styles and colors to suit every taste. Whether you prefer classic solids, playful prints, or bold patterns, Lily Maya offers the perfect piece for you.

Lily Maya is more than just a brand; it’s a lifestyle. We believe in celebrating the unique beauty of every woman.

What are your plans for the future?
As a new brand that just launched this year, our primary focus is on expanding our brand awareness. Our goal is to make Lily Maya a household name in the swimwear and activewear industry, recognized for our quality and unique designs.

We are also excited to develop new collections that will expand our current offerings in 2025. This includes experimenting with innovative materials, as well as incorporating more diverse styles to cater to a broader audience.

In the long term, we’re aiming to expand internationally. We’re excited about the prospect of bringing Lily Maya to new markets and sharing our unique blend of Brazilian-inspired style with women all around the world.
