Our Story

Kishmish is made up of two sisters who are trying to find a way to pour love back into a world that is full of so much unnecessary suffering and division. We started making earrings as a way of dealing with the horrors that we were bearing witness to and as a way of honouring the lives of so many innocent souls that have been killed. We called ourselves Kishmish because a kishmish is a dried up grape, a sultana. There is something symbolic in a sultana. It transforms to something sweeter with age, more wise. As do we. Proceeds from these sales will go to families in Gaza and community projects. Thank you for visiting our online store.

My name is Ghada, a UX/UI designer from Gaza. After surviving the war and starting fresh in Australia, I embraced my passion for design. Creating the Kishmish website with Monali was a privilege, reflecting resilience and the power of connection. I am now open to new opportunities, eager to bring ideas to life through impactful design.
