Abida Tailoring

Afghanistan

Abida Tailoring – From the riverside village of Karhala, Kunar Province, Abida, a talented and hardworking tailor, is bringing her vision to life through her brand “Abida Tailoring.” With over five years of experience, she started her journey in 1399 Hijri (2020), motivated by the need to support herself and meet her family’s essential needs. Though her formal education reached Grade 7, Abida gained strong tailoring skills through community-based learning in her village. What began as a way to serve her neighbors has now grown into a small business, where she works alongside two other women, sewing traditional Afghan clothing and related garments with care and detail. Abida's goal in building her brand was to earn a good reputation through her work and provide for her household. Her customers, mostly from her local area, trust her for her commitment to quality and the cultural beauty reflected in her designs. Now, with the support of Aseel, Abida Tailoring has the opportunity to expand beyond her village and reach a global audience. Through this collaboration, Abida is not only sharing her handcrafted clothing with the world but also setting an example of resilience and self-reliance for women in her community. Each piece from Abida Tailoring tells a story of tradition, strength, and purpose — stitched with pride and made to inspire.
