3 Tales of Tenderness - Abla and Antar

DTG Printing on Jute Cotton

One Size / Unisex

AED 650

A 3-part shirt series recounting tales of tenderness from the region, starting with a macro-scale story all the way down to a micro one.

The story of Abla and Antar; a tale of forbidden love from Najd Pre-islamic Arabia (what is now Saudi Arabia), far predated that of Romeo and Juliet’s. Antar, a brave and skilled warrior, fell in love with Abla, a beautiful and virtuous woman from a neighbouring tribe. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including Abla's disapproving family and societal norms, the two overcame their differences and eventually got married. Their love story has since become a symbol of true love and devotion.

3 Tales of Tenderness - The Lovelog

Embroidery on Jute Cotton

One Size / Unisex

AED 630

In 1990 when my father was courting my mother, she kept a telephone log of all the dates and times he called her leading up to their engagement. What first seems like a judicial act is actually a subtle indication of her bashfulness, her excitement at the prospect, and a shared tenderness between them. The note is embroidered in her handwriting on the shirt.
