Mission

Utopia Feni is a creative lifestyle brand based in Virginia Beach, VA built to sustain a local creative community of talented artists as well provide creative opportunities to a small village in Feni, Bangladesh. We aim to create, discover, and collaborate with artists near and far in order to share the value of creativity locally and abroad. 

History

Raeesah Islam has been planning this project since 2012 through her many fashion design and marketing classes from The London College of Fashion. She imagined building a sanctuary in her father’s village in Feni where she created an ethical sourcing company to promote the arts industry as well as provide jobs in the village. Much like what she is currently doing in Virginia Beach, she plans to create a welcoming environment for those who seek a creative outlet in a community sparse of the understanding for the arts. With that goal in mind, she decided to begin her endeavors by raising funds to build an art program at Nizkunjara High School in the village.
