For centuries, pearl diving in Abu Dhabi has long been woven into local lore, manifesting in myths, rituals, and the joyful ceremonies that marked the end of each season. Divers, revered for their bravery, returned home with treasures that once shaped the region’s identity and economy.

With this collaboration, LOCAL and Flatlist honor this legacy, drawing inspiration from the sea, dhows, and the timeless beauty of pearls. Each pair features the Arabic proverb “Do good, and throw it into the sea”, symbolizing the idea of selfless contribution—doing good for its own sake, without expectation of reward.
