Jihan is a conversational shop exploring new relationships between commerce and culture through the everyday language of African and West Asian design established in Paris, May 2026.

It opened it Chapter I on the 4th of June at 6 Rue Charles-François Dupuis in Le Marais. Chapter I exhibiting a curated selection of brands which includes Super Yaya, Renaissance Renaissance, Kaia Olive Oil, Paria Farzaneh, and Rescha. Chapter I will run through July, followed by an international e-commerce rollout in July.

The visual identity of Chapter I is introduced through a campaign shot by Dexter Navy, whose distinct image-making language captures the energy and future-facing spirit of the project.

Beyond retail, the space hosts Worldly Matters by Jihan, a sub-brand exploring the relationship between commerce and culture with some of the brand’s favourite writers, thinkers, and musicians. Aligned with the Paris cultural calendar, the program transforms the shop into a space of active conversation, featuring a film screening by SHASHA Movies, an interactive reading room with HIKMA, and a residency with STORM Books.

Jihan is built on a model of shared prosperity. From the outset, five percent of profits support organisations advancing women’s economic independence. For Chapter I, Jihan partners with the Misr El Kheir Foundation in Egypt, providing the tools and training needed to transform traditional craft into sustainable livelihoods for women artisans.

Jihan is a space that gathers objects, stories, and ideas from the people and places that inspire us most.

Jihan would love to see you there!!
