Wadi D is the first Emirati brand to use Vegan leather in its designs.
The sisters Amna & Hesa alDahel came up with the idea in 2019 and it took them 2 years of hard work and strong research before they launched Wadi D in 2021. Inspired by the forties and the fifties fashion era, the sisters use Vegan leather made from Cactus and Mango and they are widening their range to include so many other vegan leathers. They also host workshops, where participants get the chance to create their own products using vegan leather. Wadi D is a brand that has pledged to raise awareness on the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry, and to fight fast fashion through their designs and workshops.
