Our Story
Haveli was founded in Kingston, Jamaica by Mina Robertson to foster connection to the divinity within and around us.
A graduate of ESMOD/ ISEM Paris, former intern of Studio 189 in Accra and Board Director of JAMPRO; Mina is inspired by the power of “fashion as an agent for social change”. It was during a trip to India in late 2019 that Mina witnessed the impeccable work of artisans in the textile and craft industries whose families have been passing down indigenous traditions over generations. She saw how they found spiritual reverence for their heritage, the environment, their communities and themselves through creation and wanted to share this authenticity with the world.
Committed to sustainability and honouring heritage through artisanal production; the brand exclusively uses natural and biodegradable textiles as well as natural and non-toxic dyes and colour fasteners.

Each item seen here is a unique treasure and done in small batches by family-owned workshops. We honour inclusion and beauty in all forms. We honour the hand-made and the tradition of craft. We operate mindfully- everything has meaning and is conceptualised to foster deeper connections. We love ourselves and each other as we do ourselves. We are Haveli.
Easy Elegance
Our aesthetic summarised in two words. Each piece is designed to flow effortlessly in relaxed cuts for maximum ease of movement and comfort for self-expression. You’ll feel like you’re wearing pyjamas but will be elegantly draped in the finest silk, linen and cotton. Inclusivity and transparency are a must. We prioritize our inclusive size range and variety of colour options in each piece. Also part of our mission is to make sustainable materials of impeccable quality and hand-craft practices accessible. We want to share the magic of these traditions and conscious consumption as widely as possible. Our prices reflect fair compensation for creators, fair pricing of materials and fair margins throughout the chain. All are welcome. All are celebrated. All are Goddess.
Divine Balance
We own our power- our individual, inimitable power and deep sense of knowing. We are inspired by the energy, empathy and creativity that is unleashed when we are connected to our source and the potential of that connection to change our world. Wearing all-natural materials created by traditional processes, in relaxed silhouettes and made with loving intention by hand, helps us unleash that power. Our bodies’ chemistry synergizes with the energy in the textiles- creating a freeing environment for the expression of our inner magic.
Legacy Fashion

We want to be part of your story; each piece is designed to be passed down for generations. We create timeless pieces of quality to be loved and treasured with each wear. We seek to minimize environmental impact while maximizing social impact- love will be our legacy.
