Habibi Bazaar

Habibi Bazaar is a Lebanese-owned and operated brand founded by designer, Pamela El Gergi in 2021. After moving from Beirut to the USA in 2018, El Gergi was inspired to hold on to pieces of her hometown. Despite media and stereotypes, Beirut is a lively city full of museums, street art, high fashion, music, and activists. As a creative herself, El Gergi began paintings, tufting rugs, and creating graphic t-shirts meant to shed light on the counter culture of Lebanon. Founded on a passion to continue to advocate for Beirut and Lebanon as a whole, Habibi Bazaar was created with the intention of exposing the world to the beauty of this small Mediterranean country. As a way to continue to develop a bridge between opportunities in the USA with Lebanese-based designers and illustrators, El Gergi collaborates with multiple creatives in Lebanon. Additionally, El Gergi collaborates with several BIPOC-owned and LGBTQIA-owned businesses throughout the USA and Lebanon. Habibi Bazaar's most popular designs include Pronoun Habibi t-shirts and multiple nazar (evil eye) rug designs meant as art or rugs.
