## History[edit]

SURTURBAN was launched in 2018 and since then the company has been offering bespoke, elegant ready-to-wear headwraps. Created by an Iraqi-born designer - Sura Khudairi, the collection at Surturban is minimal and highly functional.[3] Khudairi aimed to combine the ease and refinement of the headwrap in a chic and whimsy way when she launched this company. While creating Surturban, she focused on bringing out an East-meets-West look with edgy accents and features inspired by the streets of Soho in the 1970s.[4]

The trademark ready-to-wear turbans at Surturban have fit, elegant lines, femininity, fabrics, colors, and couture-like craftsmanship. The chic headwear is a culmination of natural tones, textures, and splashes of subtle color from neutral platelets.[5]

## Collections[edit]

### Renaissance[edit]

She's kept the turban's heritage while incorporating feminine fabrics and sculptural designs. This collection takes cues from cosmopolitan culture and polished minimalism, combining feminine designs with masculine jagged accents. The turbans' curved design strives to defy conventions by instilling strength in femininity and delicacy while creating a universe in which the head wrap/turban appears effortless and modern.[8]

### DMFW Collection[edit]

They are a symbol of East-meets-West aesthetic with edgy details showing off traditional elegance, cosmopolitan style, and regal heritage.[10]
