About the brand
Khanum's is a British Bangladeshi-owned fashion label founded by Rokeya Khanum in 2018, rooted in heritage, resilience, and craftsmanship. The brand blends South Asian artisanship with contemporary design, creating timeless eveningwear pieces that honor tradition while embracing modernity. Known for its hand-embellished garments and intricate beadwork, Khanum's operates on a slow fashion, made-to-order model to reduce waste and ensure each piece is intentionally crafted. The brand's name "Khanum" means women of honor, status, and strength, reflecting its core mission of empowering women through sophisticated statement pieces. From its humble beginnings as a side business launched with £2000 startup capital, Khanum's has rapidly grown into a globally recognized label worn by A-list celebrities and stocked by prestigious retailers like Harvey Nichols and Revolve. With 80% of production now handled in-house at their East London studio, the brand maintains its commitment to ethical production and sustainable practices.
