Transforming scraps into baby items: Sabina Motasem X AFRIL Charity
We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Sabina Motasem, the innovative bridalwear brand known for its chic, timeless gowns, and Action for Refugees in Lewisham (AFRIL), in South East London. We're turning our beautiful scraps into baby clothes and donating them to the vulnerable refugee women and their children who are very much in need of our support.
We have always believed that high-end, quality design shouldn't compromise our commitment to the environment and communities. Together with AFRIL, we are taking our sustainable efforts to new heights and making a positive impact .
Sustainability Meets Style: Redefining Fashion's Impact
Where Luxury Meets Responsibility
At Sabina Motasem, we are passionate about redefining the boundaries of fashion. We firmly believe that high-end, good quality design can coexist with environmental consciousness and community support. Sustainability is at the core of our brand, driving us to find innovative ways to minimise waste, use natural fabrics, and contribute positively to the world.
Since last year, we have been transforming our leftover fabrics into gorgeous tops that we've been donating to SmartWorks, a women's charity that works hard to help empower marginalised to get a job and in turn support their communities.
Repurposing with Purpose: From Fabric Remnants to Precious Baby Items
Crafted with Love, One Stitch at a Time
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond words. We've embarked on an inspiring journey to transform leftover silk fabric, sourced from our couture collection's luxury silk crepe and the natural silk from our green collection, into valuable items for babies.
From baby rompers to adorable booties, snug mittens to charming dresses, each piece is lovingly crafted, one stitch at a time. We embrace the beauty of repurposing, breathing new life into fabric remnants and ensuring that even the smallest pieces are given purpose and value.
