Bio

Owner @bureauyan
Designer @stonesstories

Born and raised in Amsterdam, it has always been Fatima Essahsah’s dream to become an entrepreneur. After graduating in Cultural Studies at the Hogeschool of Amsterdam, she went to work as an event and educational programme producer at various hotspots throughout the city. By now, BUREAU YAN is a household name in fashion and the arts. BY specialises in talent development, participation, entrepreneurship and is inspired by fashion and art as a means rather than an end.

Fatima turned a hobby into a career, and has been designing authentic jewelry for STONES STORIES since 2013. She took a course in Cultural Anthropology to research the ancient Amazigh culture, which led to a collection of jewelry inspired by the rich Amazigh history. STONES STORIES gets its name from the age-old tradition of storytelling that lies at the heart of this culture. It is therefore more than a collection of jewelry: it keeps alive and honours the old tradition by sharing stories with one another, ultimately to maintain a lasting power.
