Fewer things. Better things.
A small Fajara studio making clothing and home goods from natural fabrics — in limited runs, at honest prices.
Made in small numbers, on purpose
Jainaba began with a single linen shirt that fit better than anything bought abroad. We make in small runs — when a piece sells out, it's gone until the next season.
Everything is cut and sewn in our Fajara studio from cotton, linen and locally-dyed cloth. No mass production, no throwaway seams.
Clothing you keep for ten years, not ten washes.
