The visionary behind our atelier.
Javed Akhter, Founder
With over two decades of experience in bespoke tailoring, Javed Akhter founded Shabab Al Yola in 2009 with a simple yet profound vision: to preserve the artistry of traditional Emirati clothing while embracing modern techniques and quality standards.
Born from a passion for perfection and deep respect for cultural heritage, our atelier has become synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship in Abu Dhabi. Every piece that leaves our workshop carries the hallmark of meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Today, under Javed Akhter's leadership, Shabab Al Yola continues to set the standard for premium kandora tailoring, serving discerning gentlemen who appreciate the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
