A message from our designer:
I had the privilege of attending the IMEU gala in NYC this past weekend, an event dedicated to sharing important information, fundraising, and networking with exceptional individuals. Amidst the festivities, our thoughts were with those affected by the ongoing situation in Gaza. I commend the entire team for their hard work and successes!
I also had the pleasure of spotting some individuals showcasing the elegance of HAMA exclusive items.
This is how we use our voices, how did you use your voice today?
Hama Hinnawi, humanitarian fashion designer and founder of HAMA, was invited as a featured speaker at the launch of Tatreez Circle, a cultural wellness program hosted by MENA Community Center in Chicago. In this community-centered event, Hama explored the history and meaning of Palestinian tatreez embroidery, highlighting its roots in storytelling, identity, and resistance. She also shared how HAMA empowers refugee women by transforming traditional embroidery into high-fashion pieces while preserving heritage and supporting economic sustainability. This event brought together Chicago’s Arab and Palestinian communities to honor embroidery as a tool of cultural preservation, women’s empowerment, and intergenerational healing.
