Leather charm, Jalabiya
The jalabiya (known in the Emirates as the mukhawar) is one of the most beloved garments in Gulf culture. A loose, floor-length dress crafted from breathable fabrics like linen, soft cotton and silk, it is distinguished by its intricate embroidery; vibrant floral motifs of delicate petals, vines and blooming flowers, stitched in rich contrasting threads around the neckline, cuffs and hem. Worn at home, at family gatherings, during Ramadan and on festive occasions, the jalabiya is a celebration of femininity, heritage and the region's extraordinary craft traditions.
This charm captures one of its most iconic floral patterns. A wearable piece of Khaleeji culture, crafted in leather and designed to go everywhere with you.
Featuring an original illustration by Emirati artist Amna Al Saleh, our jalabiya charm is handcrafted from sustainably sourced camel and cow leather purchased from a UAE tannery that transforms locally collected hides (a by-product of other industries) into finished leather. No solvents are used in the production process. The hanging loop is made from camel leather cutoffs from our key fobs, making it a beautifully circular, sustainable choice. And once you've finished with it? It's fully biodegradable.
Camel leather isn't easy to come by. Supply is limited, it takes time to source, and it's one of the most luxurious and durable leathers in the world. Which makes this charm all the more special.
Attach it to your bag, suitcase, key fob or car mirror, and carry a little piece of Emirati heritage with you wherever you go.
Why this makes a perfect gift: A deeply meaningful gift for anyone who loves Emirati culture, Gulf heritage or beautiful handcrafted accessories. Perfect for Ramadan gifts, Eid gifts, farewell gifts and anyone who has ever worn, or admired, a jalabiya.
