Why did we start Lala Hijabs?

Sana's journey in finding vibrant and unique pieces for her hijab collection had its challenges. She always craved colorful, high-quality hijabs, sensing a gap in the market. Then, in the summer of 2020, the tie-dye trend made a comeback, and Sana felt an undeniable urge to make it her own. She created her first hijab, a pink and purple tie-dye beauty, which she rocked nearly every day. Soon, people started asking where they could get one.

And just like that, our vision was born. We took that one tie-dye hijab and ran with it, creating a whole range of color combinations and designs that became the essence of Lala Hijabs. Since then, we've expanded our offerings to include new product lines featuring top-notch fabrics, impeccable stitching, and even a line of comfy maxi dresses— all inspired by a commitment to comfort, practicality, and everyday wear.

 

Where did the name Lala Hijabs come from?

The inception of the name Lala Hijabs is a tale woven within our family. Our quest for the perfect name for our hijab company led us to a delightful source—our eldest daughter, Aaminah, a mere five years old at the time. Faced with a giant list of potential names and unable to reach an agreement amongst each other, we turned to her for inspiration. Without hesitation, Aaminah beamed and declared that she would name the company, "Lala Hijabs!" And so, our brand found its identity.

From that spontaneous moment, Will ingeniously distilled the essence of our vision and crafted the empowering slogan, "Live Authentic Love Always," drawing inspiration from the four letters that make up the heart of Lala. Our name not only carries the charm of its origin but also encapsulates the spirit of authenticity and enduring love that defines our brand.

 

What makes us different?

From the very beginning, our vision has been to redefine the norm. Beyond introducing the best of the best hijabs and dresses to the market, we proudly stand as pioneers in adopting sustainable practices within the hijab industry. What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to eco-friendliness—each of our meticulously crafted hijabs is personally packaged using paper, previously recycled bags, and compostable materials, steering clear of conventional plastic. We extend this eco-conscious ethos to our customers, encouraging them to join us in this impactful endeavor. Together, our collective efforts can truly make a difference.

At the heart of our brand lies a deep-rooted commitment to charity. We channel a portion of profits from select product lines towards constructing water wells across the globe. Partnering with the esteemed non-profit organization Human Concern International, we are grateful for every contribution that aids us in creating positive change. Thank you for being a part of our journey to make a meaningful impact in this world.
