Founded in 2016 by three lifelong friends, Human & Beings is the first-of-its-kind concept store in Dubai. United with the desire to bring sustainable, quality fashion into the national market of Dubai they curate collections of only the best clothing, footwear, accessories and beauty products. They handpick like-minded contemporary designers and independent labels from all around the world to combine them in a single retail space, just for you. This boutique lives by their promise to only fill their racks with pieces that feel and look great, pieces that can be used and reused, unaffected by the fast-paced world of fads. What a perfect promise to make.

Kowtow’s design ethos goes from seed to garment as their commitment to fair trade and sustainable practices drives every detail of their everyday basics. Founded by Gosia Piatek in New Zealand, the contemporary fashion line uses only 100% fair trade certified cotton and works hard to ensure their employees from Kolkata, India receive fair wages and employee benefits. The brand is also dedicated to creating awareness about the imbalance in standards of living throughout the world.
