Born in the UAE, Shabana's journey to India began when her father decided to return to their roots. That transition shaped her deep appreciation for Indian craftsmanship and heritage.

Married to Sahil Samad, a passionate entrepreneur, Shabana found both her greatest supporter and inspiration in him. Sahil's belief in her creative vision motivated her to build something of her own — a brand that would celebrate the richness of Indian textiles while embracing modern elegance.

In 2018, she turned that vision into reality by opening a 250 sq. ft. store on SRM Road, near Ernakulam North Railway Station in Kochi. With a keen eye for fashion and an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction, the boutique steadily grew — expanding in 2024 into a spacious 1,000 sq. ft. showroom and broadening its range to include trendy western wear alongside its signature ethnic collections.

And so, Haya Boutique was born — a name lovingly drawn from their son, Hayan. Today, Haya stands as a testament to a mother's love, a partner's faith, and a family's dream woven into every thread.
