Our story

How Dolab Al Anaqa began

Our story

We started in 2016 with one rail of workwear in a Salmiya apartment.

Our founder, Haya, could not find office clothes that were smart, modest and comfortable in Kuwait's summer, so she began sourcing them herself. Friends asked, then friends of friends. Today we have a small studio and showroom on Salem Al Mubarak Street and deliver across Kuwait and the Gulf.

Quality

Every piece is checked by hand before it leaves the studio.

We buy from a short list of workshops in Türkiye, Morocco and Portugal that we visit ourselves. Fabrics are chosen for breathability and drape, hems are left long enough to adjust, and sleeves are cut full length wherever we can.

Service that feels personal

Message us before you buy and a stylist will help with size, length and what to wear it with. Hem and sleeve alterations are free on orders collected from the studio, and returns are collected from your door within 14 days.

Buying less, but better

We order in small runs, so we rarely end a season with piles of stock to discount. Parcels are packed in recycled paper, and the rails in our showroom are made from reclaimed wood.

It is a small start. Each year we share what we have changed and what we still want to improve.
