Meet the Maker: Sana from Laila Luxury Puzzles

Welcome to our Meet the Maker series, where we chat with the artists and creators behind the puzzles in your Borrowed Piece subscription boxes. Today we're honoured to introduce Sana, the founder of Laila Luxury Puzzles, a US-based brand that's doing something genuinely new in the puzzle world, and one we're especially proud to bring to Australian puzzlers. Laila Luxury Puzzles was born during one of the hardest seasons of Sana's life. When her husband was diagnosed with cancer, puzzling became her way of staying grounded, but she could never find a puzzle that truly spoke to her. So she built one. Or rather, she built an entire company around a simple but powerful idea: that Muslim artists deserve a place in the puzzle space. Working with artists like Rawda Salah, Ola El-Metwally, and Farah Sharif, Sana has created collections that are vibrant, detail-rich, and unlike anything else in the market, from the launch collection's bold florals to the stunning Ramadan 2026 series. We're thrilled to have these puzzles in our library, and even more thrilled to share the story behind them.

Jigsaw Puzzle Rental Australia: Why Renting Beats Buying | The Borrowed Piece

If you love jigsaw puzzles but hate the clutter, puzzle rental might be exactly what you've been looking for. Instead of buying a puzzle you'll complete once and then shelve (or worse, throw away), renting lets you enjoy an endless rotation of premium jigsaws without the storage headache or the ongoing cost. Jigsaw puzzle rental is still a relatively new concept in Australia, but it's growing fast — and for good reason. At The Borrowed Piece, we deliver two premium 1000-piece puzzles to your door, you solve them at your own pace, and when you're done, you return them and swap for your next pair. It's puzzle subscription, reimagined. All the joy of puzzling, none of the clutter.
