Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

The ladies mostly found in Northern parts of the country like Garissa County are loved for their humbleness.

Somali ladies are also loved for their respect and easy going nature.

Just like women from other communities, Somali women value their handbags and you often spot them clutching them.

These ladies carry different things in their handbags daily but there items that they never fail to carry.

Here are three things you will never miss in a Somali woman’s handbag.

1. Make-up

Somali ladies just like their counterparts from other community’s value makeup. 

They carry makeup everywhere they go and apply it to look more beautiful.

However, the kind of makeup is different from what other women carry. 

Somali women carry ‘Hinna’ their much-loved makeup which they use on their bodies.

This type of makeup is beautiful and makes them more attractive.

2. Quran

Somali women and men value their religion. 

They hold their religion to their hearts and nothing can make them stop worshiping Allah.

In their handbags, you will find the Quran which they recite when they go to pray at mosques.

3. Hijabs

Somali women are very strict when it comes to dressing.

Their religion does not allow them to dress skimpily and show off their bodies.

These women are known to wear long dresses and hijabs around the head, face, and neck.

In their handbags they carry extra hijabs and long dresses which they use to exchange to avoid contravening their religion.

Aisha Hussein, a fashion designer, and makeup artist says that Somali women are among the classiest women in the world.

She says that they use natural and not artificial products to look attractive.

“We value our looks and that why we apply we carry ‘Hinna’ made from natural products to everywhere we go,” she says.
