About TREBENE - The Label
TREBENE is an ethical luxury label of scarves handcrafted in Kashmir. Woven from Cashmere, the label combines the rich heritage of traditional textile with contemporary designs inspired by travels around the globe.
Cashmere is meticulously sourced from the Changthangi goat and Kashmiri weavers use age-old craftsmanship to carefully weave each scarf with focus on quality.
TREBENE invests a portion of it’s revenue into the education of the weavers children.

Before leaving Singapore and realising her entrepreneurial dream in South Africa, Bushera consulted in the corporate industry strategising for various Fortune 500 companies on consumer behaviour across different cultures.
