Meet Bibi Sofia: The Artisan Behind the Shirt

This gorgeous hand embroidery shirt was designed and hand embroidered by the incredibly talented Bibi Sofia. She is a master embroiderer and loves experimenting with new designs.

Her youngest child (3 years old) is quite the adorable co-worker, sitting with her while she sews and creates. Sofia embroiders florals, constellations, evil eye designs and more.

Sofia fled Afghanistan in 2021 with her husband and 4 children. Sofia is learning English to help her build her business and her new life here.

Bibi's work is deeply rooted in traditional Afghan embroidery techniques, passed down through generations. Her craft is not only a means of artistic expression but also a path to financial independence and security.

Each piece she creates is a reflection of her journey, her heritage, and her resilience as she builds a new life far from home.

Rumi Spice is proud to support Bibi's work, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan through contemporary fashion.
