About Yemenithreads

Ethical Shawls. Purposeful Trade.

At Yemenithreads, we’re more than a shawl company—we’re a movement. Our mission is to make fashion a force for good by creating livelihood projects around the world while producing world-class, handmade shawls and scarves rooted in Prophetic tradition.

In contrast to global luxury brands that treat excess as disposable and exclusivity as a selling point, we envision fashion that dignifies every person—regardless of background or income. Whether worn for warmth, worship, or personal expression, our pieces are made for everyone.

Our Mission

Spreading Color to the Ummah, One Thread at a Time

At Yemenithreads, color is more than what you see—it's what we give.

To us, spreading color means delivering help, hope, and beauty to the Ummah in all its richness. It means honoring the soul of Islam, which is not black-and-white, but a radiant spectrum of mercy, culture, and purpose. And it means revitalizing forgotten traditions while uplifting those who carry them.

Each shawl we offer is a thread in this greater tapestry—made by skilled artisans in Yemen, and around the globe, using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

When you wear Yemenithreads, you support:

  • Livelihood creation in areas affected by conflict, poverty, and displacement

  • Training programs that preserve traditional craftsmanship and empower new artisans

  • Community relief through our nonprofit work—distributing food, clean water, and shelter, supporting orphans, and building textile factories that provide sustainable employment

We believe that the beauty of Islam is lived—and worn. Through every stitch, Yemenithreads seeks to wrap the Ummah in dignity, artistry, and care.

What Sets Us Apart

✦ People First, Always

We don’t see artisans as a supply chain—we see them as partners. Many work from the comfort of their homes and set their own pace. We compensate them fairly and often pay above the rates they request. Their well-being is our foundation.

✦ Style That Serves

Our designs are timeless—blending tradition with elegance, rooted in cultures of dignity. We are inspired by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ’s simplicity, balance, and beauty, reimagining fashion in that same spirit.

✦ Made For Everyone

We don’t believe quality should be exclusive. Our shawls are priced with honesty and integrity. Whether you’re gifting a friend or looking for a daily prayer companion, our pieces are made to last and made to reach.

Ethical Fashion with Global Impact

Your support helps us build a better world:

  • Launching factories and training programs in refugee camps and remote areas

  • Providing emergency relief through food, clean water, and shelter

  • Supporting orphans and families with consistent aid

  • Funding our artisans directly and building sustainable economic ecosystems

Our nonprofit arm ensures that a large portion of proceeds goes back to the communities that made each piece possible.

A New Model of Trade

At Yemenithreads, we believe commerce can be compassionate. We’ve created a model where every part of the process—making, selling, wearing—benefits someone in need.

Instead of excess waste, we invest in expansion.
Instead of commodifying labor, we honor it.
Instead of mass production, we build meaningful connection.

Thank You For Being Part of the Thread

Every shawl carries a story. Every purchase is a seed of change.
With Yemenithreads, you’re not just wearing something beautiful—
