Azadeh (Azi) Hendi, a former attorney, is a fearless globetrotter with an obsession for all places sunny and a passion for concious living, design and fashion.

As the wife of a distinguished skin cancer surgeon, Azi knows firsthand the perils of inadequate sun protection.

Mother of two active boys, she spent many hours outdoors with her family playing sports, exploring, shopping or traveling. Azi found that her active outdoor lifestyle was in conflict with the science linking sun exposure to skin cancer, discoloration of the skin and premature aging.

Inspired by her world travels, an advocate at heart, Azi merged her love for design, healthy living, science and travel, and created a collection of comfortable, versatile, stylish, easy to travel with, and most importantly sun-protective clothing for busy women who value fashion and function equally. 

Azadeh, meaning free spirit set out to promote freedom for all women desiring a healthy, active, lifestyle. luminoraTM is a call to freedom. Freedom to seek, explore and experience life guilt and worry free. Freedom to want it all, without risking it all.
