Born in Al Bireh, Palestine and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Omar is the youngest of six siblings. Growing up navigating the complexities of identity—Palestinian roots in a Western world, Throbez is shaped by diaspora, family, and a desire to define his own path.

"Throbez is more than a brand. It’s a reflection of me—a bridge between cultures, rebellion against conformity, and a reimagining of a garment worn for centuries through a modern lens to create a fresh, gender-inclusive take on the Thobe".

As Palestinian culture faces censorship and appropriation, Throbez emerges as a response to these constraints—an evolution shaped within a Western world, created to assert our presence and celebrate the beauty of our heritage. With creations like these, our history endures, and our existence is unmistakably affirmed.

Inspired and dedicated to my mother and sister, Khairia and Hala Abdelaziz.
