Bibi Hanum
Bibi Hanum is a socially responsible enterprise that creates
garments and accessories using traditional hand-woven
silk/cotton ikat fiber. Its mission is to provide economic
opportunities for women while preserving Uzbekistan’s rich
cultural heritage.
Having worked since 2006 Bibi Hanum has been able to
provide work for over fifty women who live in Tashkent,
Ferghana Valley and Navoi region. Without the hard work of
these women Bibi Hanum’s exquisite clothing and beautiful
home decor would not be possible. In 2015 Bibi Hanum
opened its brand new store combining its workshop in the
old city of Tashkent - Chorsu.
Bibi Hanum creates new seasonal collections which range
from luxury traditional kaftans to contemporary high end
fashion garments. The clothes are designed incorporating
traditional crafts of Uzbekistan artisans such as suzani
embroiderers and ikat weavers. Each season Bibi Hanum
presents its customers with new collections made with new
ikat designs and unique combinations of embroidery
patterns.
