HABIBI MEEN? /مين إحنا؟
WE MAKE
THE THING.
Habibi Please is the design and product engine of Habibi World. Culture made physical. Built by a SWANA diaspora that started designing its own representation.
The Uniform. Diaspora Staples. Objects with roots.منّا وفينا.
THE STRUCTURE
FIVE PILLARS.
SAME HBBS.
Expression.
Egyptian. Palestinian. Sudanese. Lebanese. Khaleeji. Your roots don’t need flattening to fit the room.
Inclusivity.
Women, queer Arabs, disabled HBBS. Those who speak Arabic at home and those finding their way back. Allies are welcome. The HBBS stay at the centre.
Culture first.
A phrase. A textile. A household object. The reference comes first. The design follows.
Permanence.
A design-house mindset. We build towards pieces that stay with you beyond a release. The Uniform has a life to live.
