We’ve been seeing this symbol everywhere right now, there is a Fatima hand frenzy in the fashion world!

The hand of Fatima, also known as Hamsa, origins are unknown but it predates Christianity. A universal sign of protection, it is a talisman symbol and those who wear it believe it will protect them from harm against evil forces and bring them goodness, abundance, fertility, luck and good health.

It has evolved to become regarded as a sacred and respected symbol in Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Jain beliefs and now in the new religion of Fashion!

We’re seeing beaded bangles, long pendant necklaces and the symbol on boho bags all about town. where did the trend come from? Who knows…. in these unsafe times are we superstitiously looking for protection or are we just following a trend some celebrity started by accident? The later is more likely we think, but it looks so good we don’t care!
