OUR STORY

My name is Passara. I sewed my first dress at the age of 9 — no patterns, no rules, just pure imagination and a piece of fabric. It wasn’t perfect, but it sparked something real: a deep love for handmade creation that has stayed with me ever since. Years later, I began designing clothes and selling them with a friend. It was my first real step into the fashion world and made me realize how creativity could connect people. After moving to Melbourne, I discovered a deep love for crochet. I began learning seriously — stitch by stitch — and found joy in blending traditional techniques with a more modern, fashion-forward approach. That’s when Handoura truly came to life. I’ve always had a love for making things — not just clothing. From pipe cleaner flowers to handmade necklaces and bracelets, I enjoy turning simple materials into meaningful objects. I also love drawing, and flowers have always fascinated me. That’s why many of my designs take on floral shapes and carry a natural charm. Handoura is where all my passions come together — fashion, art, craft, and nature. Every piece tells a story — my story as Passara, and yours too, once you make it your own. And I’m still creating, still exploring, and always dreaming up the next piece to share with the world.
