Kimaya

Kimaya is a high end clothing brand based in Dubai and made in Morocco. Lila, owner and founder at Kimaya had the brilliant and creative idea to merge traditional clothing from two cultures she is passionate about, the Japanese Kimono and the Middle Eastern Abaya. Both cultures have an immense appreciation for lose clothing and a sensitivity for the finest fabrics. Lila cherishes the same values and chooses only the best quality for the creation of her clothes.

The fusion of the two historical fashion cultures gave birth to Kimaya.
