Machghalna & Salma Maternity – Fashion with Purpose, Made in Lebanon Our journey began in 2008 as a small fashion boutique in Zgharta, North Lebanon. Driven by a passion for local production and ethical fashion, we evolved into a purpose-driven business combining creativity, sustainability, and social impact. In 2019, we launched Salma Maternity, a proudly Lebanese brand offering stylish and comfortable maternity wear tailored for real women and real bodies. Building on that success, we founded Machghalna in 2021—a social enterprise that upcycles discarded clothes into modern, eco-conscious fashion pieces. Machghalna also serves as a manufacturing hub, offering high-quality, customizable production for local and international brands. As a social enterprise, we’re committed to empowering women, youth, and underrepresented communities by providing job opportunities, skills training, and a platform for sustainable growth. We collaborate with NGOs and grassroots movements to amplify our impact and support displaced and vulnerable populations through textile-based solutions. In addition to our fashion work, our founder, Salma Yammine, hosts a podcast that shares untold stories of resilience, entrepreneurship, and social change in Lebanon—highlighting voices that inspire transformation. Together, Machghalna and Salma Maternity are more than fashion brands. We are a movement stitching together sustainability, empowerment, and local pride.
