The Woman Behind The Brand : Hinda
With a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance from Old Dominion University, and working with Fortune 500 companies like 21st century Fox and Sony Corporation, fashion design wasn't an expected career path for Hinda. Although she always loved personal style, it wasn't until Hinda was assigned to do accounting for various fashion factories that she found an undiscovered passion for entrepreneurship and fashion design.
After being exposed to the new world of fashion, she also learned the dark sides of the fast fashion industry: Garment workers laboring in unsafe conditions, unfair wages, and the environmental concerns of overproducing products that would simply end up in landfills emitting harmful chemicals into the environment.
Hinda knew she had to help change the industry. She founded the AMVi Collection to create new fashion community who value more than the latest trend, but who think of the people who create the clothes above all else and one where consumers care about the quality and care that goes into their clothes.
All the clothing from AMVi Collection is made in Los Angeles with high quality, sustainable fabrics, where all garment workers are paid a fair living wage. As Hinda puts it herself, "The clothes you wear should make you feel good, not just physically."
Although every immigrant story is unique, Hinda is the classic Angelino. She emigrated from Africa to attend college and to pursue her version of the American dream.
