A significant milestone for Honayda.

As of August 22nd, Honayda fashion label will be available to purchase at the luxury London department store Harrods. Headed by creative designer Honayda Serafi, the womenswear brand becomes the first Saudi fashion label to be sold at Harrods. Saudi's global fashion scene has increased at an exponential rate in recent years. It is with great pride that the eponymous label will be displayed alongside famous international fashion houses and recognized Middle Eastern labels such as Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, and Yousef Akbar at one of the world’s grandest department stores.

The label posted on Instagram "Proudly announcing Honayda’s latest collection, which is now showcased at one of the world’s most iconic department stores, Harrods.” “A curated selection of exclusive pieces will be available on the eveningwear floor, inaugurating the first Saudi fashion designer in store.” It is part of the latest collection named ‘A charm from Afghan’ introducing oversized tassels and delicate embellishments inspired by traditional Afghan attire. The structured pieces are adorned with feminine feathers and feature vibrant colors of yellow, green and blue; and for those who prefer calmer hues monochrome white and subtle shades of pink are also to be had.

The brand has also made an impression regionally and internationally, and already has an impressive following of celebrities, including Priyanka Chopra, who wore a white pleated Honayda jumpsuit to the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.

Honayda Serafi creates contemporary fashion infused with Saudi heritage for the empowerment of women. Serafi studied Islamic art before moving to Paris to study fashion at the European branch of the prestigious Parsons School of Design. In 2016, she set up her fashion label, Honayda, in Lebanon. Her eponymous label is a traditional Arab name meaning ‘elaborately decorated sword sheath’ which fits perfectly with the brands unique vision of decoration and beauty.
