Story of Source
Story’s story (no pun intended) has been long in the making, but it was a trip to Guatemala in October 2018 where Story of Source was born. Guatemala gave our intent color, our dreams shape and further fueled our desire to preserve and nourish indigenous craft in a fair and sustainable manner.
It is our hope that with every collection, Story will help sustain indigenous craftsmanship and encourage artisanry, a dying art in many parts of the world.

My passion for home cooked food is one that is deeply ingrained, passed down to me through generations of formidable women in my life. Over the years these special moments and the sharing of recipes has imprinted a deep passion for food, cooking and the kitchen that is my sanctuary. The recipes shared with me have made my kitchen a place to welcome a constant circle of family and friends for home cooked meals with cultural influences from the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
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.

Camelicious
Over 35 years ago, the idea of a camel-milking facility was born at the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL) in Dubai. Research commenced on a small number of camels that were raised with the specific aim to obtain scientific proof of the outstanding health benefits of camel milk as an important part of the traditional Bedouin staple diet. The ultimate goal was to introduce camel milk to the markets and by doing so, to make it accessible to a large number of consumers.
Why Go-Lokal?

By connecting the local community we aspire to support the local economy, making its unique brands better known, and create awareness for authentic tour experiences. Go-Lokal gives you access to all hidden gems the UAE has to offer.

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.
