Rehana Kausar said attending Ramadan and Eid festivals in the early 2000s inspired her to open her own women's clothing shop in Sydney's west.

Rehana Kausar arrived in Australia in 2004 and fondly recalled attending the Meena Bazaar and Ramadan festivals in Lakemba, Sydney, followed by those in Campsie. She also took part in the Multicultural Eid Fair and Festival in Fairfield. Throughout the month of Ramadan, similar festivals attract thousands of attendees across the country with stalls selling clothing, handicrafts, jewellery, food and more.

co-founder, Mehar Ahmed, told SBS Urdu that such festivals served as catalysts for some new migrant women setting up their own businesses. "By seizing these opportunities, newly arrived women can embark on their entrepreneurial journeys with confidence and contribute to the economic and social fabric of their communities," she added.
