The Giving Movement
Hi, we’re The Giving Movement.
We’re a sustainable brand that’s designed and manufactured in the UAE, blending active and streetwear. We also donate $4 to our partner charities for every item sold. Yep, that’s right, not the total amount, but for Every. Single. Item. in your basket.
Our philosophy is simple:
‘’Small acts multiplied by many people can transform the world’’
You probably guessed it in the name, but we put giving at the heart of everything we do. We like to call it conscious consumerism. We’re striving for a product that doesn’t harm our planet further AND helps to change the lives of those who need it most.
Eco Rascals
Sharing a deep passion to reduce the use of plastic, we knew we needed to develop a product that was plastic free, sustainable and biodegradable. That’s why we chose bamboo. Bamboo grass matures in five years, significantly faster than any wood product. It is grown and harvested without the use of pesticides. Organic bamboo is eco-friendly biodegradable, heat, stain, odour and water resistant and most importantly it is non-toxic.
We are are so excited to bring you our line of natural, plastic-free, non-toxic, stylish and sustainable tableware products for your family. Please dive in and take a look of what we have to offer.

Hamda Al Fahim
UAE-based designer Hamda’s journey into the world of fashion wear is a journey of following one’s instinct, in answering one’s true calling in life.
She grew up in the capital city of Abu Dhabi. She graduated from the College of Art and Science and embarked on her career as an interior designer. But her heart was marching to its own beat from a very young age.
Petite Lamb
Petite Lamb was established in 2010 by Katrina, the designer and seamstress behind the business. The passion for sewing and eye for design has brought together a collection of unique and one of a kind pieces that you will find both online, in store and out and about at pop up markets. Katrina started sewing at an early age taught by her mother and participated in her first market back in 1996 in St. Kilda, Melbourne selling hand painted silk pyjamas. The love for materials and sewing has always been a strong theme in Katrina’s life.
The Botanist
After a multitude of iterations, The Botanist was born. A plant-based, chemical-free and kind collection of home cleansing products, made the artisanal way, with a carefully selected range of fresh and therapeutic essential oils. All packed together lovingly, right here in the UAE, in eco-friendly elegant glass bottles that you finally don’t have to hide away.
The Botanist launched in 2019 and we’ve since moved to a purpose built production facility in Dubai to enable us to bring the products we love to more people in the UAE. We’re so excited to be sharing our range with you and hope you love it as much as we do.

Lokal of the month
Mleiha
Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.
The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
