Meet the brother-sister duo behind HAVVA.
speaks to both Havva and Ali Mustafa about running a luxury shoe brand as siblings.Our father and grandfather were in the shoe industry so it was something we grew up exposed to from an early age. My mother really wanted me to study law instead so that I could make a great living, but I knew I was never cut out for it. At the last minute, I rejected my law university acceptance and managed to secure myself a place at Cordwainers London College of Fashion.
I went to university to study architecture, so I never really thought I would be designing shoes. However, once the HAVVA brand started coming together, I couldn't keep myself away from it. I just felt a natural draw to designing and it woke an underlying passion inside me that I guess was always there. It felt like a natural move from architecture to footwear, as you can apply a lot of the same design principles.
