Designer Spotlight: Gaby Bayona

At Hinterland, we’re drawn to designers whose work feels quietly powerful—where detail is intentional, silhouettes are thoughtfully constructed, and the bride always comes first. Gaby Bayona, the designer behind Truvelle, Laudae, and Aesling, brings that ethos to life across three distinct labels.

Though each collection has its own voice, there’s a through-line in Gaby’s work: an unwavering commitment to celebrating modern brides, on their own terms. Her gowns are designed and made in Vancouver, crafted with care, and deeply aligned with our vision at Hinterland—effortless, grounded beauty that feels entirely your own.

Truvelle: Effortless Romance

Truvelle is where it all began. Founded in 2013, it’s the heart-forward line that introduced Gaby’s thoughtful design to the bridal world. These gowns are romantic but never fussy—fluid skirts, soft lace, unexpected details, and an ease that feels made for barefoot dancing and unstructured bouquets.

Truvelle brides are dreamers. But they’re grounded too—and they know that the best moments are the ones that feel natural, not staged.

Laudae: Bold Structure, Playful Spirit

Laudae arrived in 2016 with a clear message: confidence is the new classic. This line leans into form-fitting silhouettes, daring necklines, and rich textures like jacquard and stretch satin. With details like detachable sleeves and statement backs, Laudae is made for the bride who isn’t afraid to stand out.

It’s modern, sculptural, and never overly serious. For brides who crave style and comfort—and maybe a little drama too.

Aesling: Minimalism with Presence

Launched in 2019, Aesling is the most architectural of Gaby’s lines. Here, she pares everything back to pure form: no lace, no beading—just beautiful fabric, intentional draping, and tailored silhouettes. Inspired by women artists and designers, these gowns are about quiet confidence and grounded beauty.

Aesling is perfect for the bride who wants her dress to be felt more than fussed over. Understated, elevated, and undeniably chic.

A Perfect Fit for Hinterland

Gaby Bayona’s work aligns beautifully with what we hold dear at Hinterland: authenticity, ease, and design that whispers rather than shouts. Whether it’s the romantic flow of Truvelle, the striking edge of Laudae, or the refined restraint of Aesling, her gowns speak to brides who want to show up as their fullest selves.

Her dresses are more than beautiful. They’re intentional, elevated, and completely unforgettable.
