Summer of being well
SAMARA is a fashion brand focused on better materials and creating impact in the world. As a full female team based in Vancouver, it’s our goal to bring people together over a shared interest of fashion, wellness and movement. As we explore the wellness side of fashion, we hope to bring products and experiences to our community that enable us all to feel closer to the earth and balanced in our bodies. We’ve made products out of apples, recycled ocean plastics, castor seeds, and now clothing using purely natural fibres that are better for our bodies and better for the earth.

our factories
We work with factories in Italy, China, Taiwan and India and are excited to keep growing our factory network with factories that align with our values. Our Soular Backpacks are produced in Kenya, close to where Salima and Samara grew up.
our impact
Salima and Samara both grew up in Mombasa, Kenya, beside a village of 20,000 people who live below the poverty line. They would notice children their age walking miles and miles to school each way, and also notice how the village was reliant on the kerosene lamp as their main source of light - a carcinogenic fuel that 1.2 billion people rely on every day. At the same time, a lot of these children would not have the grades to make it into secondary school - and a big reason for that was that they didn't have access to light and wouldn't be able to study efficiently after the sun went down. In 2015, two years before SAMARA was founded, Salima was in her last year of university in Canada and wanted to find a solution to this problem. After months of iterating and ideating, she started with a solar powered pen, and then a hat, a pair of shoes, a mobile library, and finally, The Soular Backpack came to life.
