Sisters-in-law Sara and Afshan put together a custom henna design business based in Toronto, Canada called Sisters by Design or SbD.
The service gives non-Muslim and Muslim women the chance to get decked out in fabulous and decadent henna designs for a small fee.
What’s unique about the girls is that they have put together a non-profit business in order to donate 100% of their proceeds towards charity.
Afshi says they wanted to do something different, “We wanted a creative way to gather funds and to give something in return. We have done bridal henna, henna for
birthday parties, and also for those who may not know much about Henna, but are interested in applying the work of art on themselves.”
The response they’ve received has been positive and Afshan says with Chanel introducing temporary tattoos in their Spring 2010 line, “Henna is always an occasion, and our
motto is: Give us Your Hand, Open Your Heart.”
