This Pre-Ramadan Exhibition Is The Creative Hub You’re Visiting These Two Days

Ramadan is considered one of the focal fashion seasons in the region.

You’re probably getting your wardrobe ready for Ramadan evenings, the ones you’ll be spending with your family and friends, even though the circle is going to be smaller with the ongoing pandemic, but being the chicest and trendiest in the room is a must for you, and we’ve got you covered. 

We love this pre-Ramadan exhibition that is taking place in Dubai and where you will be able to shop your favorite staples while encouraging local designers affected by the economic global situation. Sawa, an initiative like no other, is knocking on your door, so keep scrolling to know all the details. 

Emirati fine jewelry designer Salama Khalfan and her friend Ghizlan Guenez, are ready to reinvigorate the emirate’s creative community by launching Sawa(which translates as “together”).

The pre-Ramadan exhibition will take place starting today and until Saturday at Warehouse 83, AlserkalAvenue, from 2pm to 10pm. Its overarching aim is to support local entrepreneurs by providing them with a platform for making sales at low cost and low risk.

“The idea was so organic – we were together one evening three weeks ago, thinking it would be amazing if someone could facilitate something where the barriers of entry are relatively low” Khalfan told The National.

Das Collection, Bleach, Bambah, and more local labels are going to participate in Sawa exhibition along with other home-grown fashion, home décor and accessories brands. 

Here’s a list of some of the participating labels. Do not miss out on the creative event. You’ll find everything you need this Holy Month while supporting some amazing local talents.
