Carried by Her

 

Introduction

This collection is a dialogue—a shared expression between two designers who connected through memory, loss, and the power of storytelling.

Abdallah lost his mother. Mohamed has been separated from his for nearly three years, since the war broke out in Sudan. Though their stories are different, they are stitched together by one universal truth: the presence of our mothers never leaves us.

This is a collection made by hand and held by the heart.

Philosophy

We believe that fashion can be more than function. It can carry emotion. It can archive memory. It can start conversations that transcend borders.

This collection is not about mourning—it’s about celebrating. About remembering the gardens, letters, and gestures our mothers left behind. And how, through design, we continue to carry them with us.

Concept

This is a collection inspired by two personal stories that became one shared language. But it’s also for everyone—because whether your mother is here or not, we all carry at least one memory that shaped who we are.

We asked ourselves: What if a bag could feel like a letter?

What if it could hold silence, scent, or the sound of her voice?

What if memory could be wearable?

Through leather, thread, and rhythm—we made that feeling tangible.

Final Message

This collection is a shared conversation. Between two designers, two mothers, and the many stories that live in between.

Some of those stories are full of joy. Others carry grief. All of them are made by hand.

Every piece in this collection was built around memory: held, worn, hidden, or shared. We believe that fashion can carry more than function—it can carry feeling. It can remind us where we come from, who we love, what we miss.

Though born from our personal stories—of Abdallah’s loss and Mohamed’s separation—the pieces belong to everyone. Because we all have a mother. A memory. A gesture we still carry.

These are not just bags.

They are letters.

They are gardens.

They are the weight of love, Carried by Her.
