BORN IN DUBAI, WORN WORLDWIDE
HOW IT STARTED
Architect Duha Bukadi spent over a decade designing luxury hotels across Africa and theMiddle East, crafting spaces of style and sophistication.
But when the world paused during the pandemic, so did she - realising life was too short to leave dreams unexplored.
She turned her focus from buildings to shoes, soon earning recognition as a finalist in the Fashion Trust Arabia competition and launching what would become DUHA.
Born in Tunisia and raised across the globe, Duha has always been a citizen of the world.
INSPIRATION
DUHA design draws from the same principles that define her architecture: a balance of structure, utility, and aesthetics.
DUHA shoes are made to be lived in, not just admired. These are pieces that work with you, transitioning effortlessly from day to night, boardroom to bustling city street.
Choosing Dubai as her home and creative hub, Duha has grounded her brand in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
Here, she has built DUHA from the ground up, starting with an in-house prototyping studio where each design is meticulously crafted.
