With a vision to ignite collaboration, amplify culture and nurture creators, Dalu has taken on the ambitious task of providing a platform for local artists and provide a deeper understanding of Qatar’s rich creative and cultural landscape.

To launch its debut collection, Dalu collaborated with award winning artist Mubarak Al-Malik who is renowned for his graffiti style art and iconic murals around Doha. Paying homage to the traditional golden face cover cherished by his grandmother, the battoulah stands at the heart of this collection seamlessly blending tradition and contemporary elegance.
