Established in 1985 by Natti Canaveras (also known as Madam Natti), House of Uniforms has grown from a modest local enterprise into one of Bahrain’s most trusted suppliers of uniforms and essential school and workplace accessories. Canaveras, who moved to Bahrain in 1975, identified a pressing personal need that sparked the creation of her business—difficulty sourcing quality uniforms for her children.
“When I came to Bahrain, for me it was extremely difficult to go to the souq looking for material, looking for a tailor to make the uniform for my children,” explains Canaveras. Recognising this struggle was common among other parents, she set out to establish a service that would ease this burden, thus laying the foundation for the House of Uniforms.
At first, focusing primarily on the school sector, House of Uniforms quickly expanded its offerings due to high demand and a growing reputation for quality and convenience. Today, the company not only supplies school uniforms but has diversified into professional uniforms, footwear, bags, water bottles, toys, stationery, lunch bags, and more, becoming a comprehensive shopping destination for parents, students, and professionals alike.
Customers continue choosing House of Uniforms largely because of the convenience, quality, and innovative designs offered. “Parents choose House of Uniforms because of the facility we provide. They can purchase uniforms on any day, and we offer exceptional quality and very unique designs,” says Canaveras proudly. Her commitment to originality has distinguished the business across Bahrain and the broader Gulf region.
House of Uniforms currently operates branches at A’ali Complex and Tala Plaza, locations that have become synonymous with reliability and customer satisfaction. However, Canaveras has her sights set firmly on expansion. Announcing exciting news, she shares, “By October or November 2025, we will open a new branch in Seef Mall, aiming specifically to expand our workwear uniform range.”
This expansion underscores the company’s adaptability and responsiveness to the evolving needs of the Bahraini market. Canaveras is confident that the new branch will further solidify the company’s position as an essential service provider, particularly in catering to professionals requiring high-quality, durable, and stylish uniforms.
The importance of House of Uniforms within the Bahraini community cannot be overstated. By providing reliable, quality-driven uniform solutions, the company significantly eases the logistical burden faced by parents and professionals alike. Uniforms play a crucial role in creating a sense of unity, discipline, and identity among students and professionals. They also enhance safety, comfort, and functionality in various work environments.
By consistently meeting these fundamental needs, the House of Uniforms contributes meaningfully to the educational sector and the broader professional community. Their service simplifies daily life for families, ensuring students are always well-prepared for school, and supports local businesses by enabling employees to perform effectively and represent their brands proudly.
Reflecting on her journey, Canaveras expresses deep gratitude to the community that has continuously supported her vision. “Without the support of parents, schools, and the ministry, the House of Uniforms would not be where it is today,” she says sincerely. “I am immensely thankful for their enduring trust and hope they continue to support us in the future.”
House of Uniforms’ sustained success lies in its ability to blend practicality with innovation. It continues to set standards in the uniform retail sector by consistently meeting customer expectations while anticipating their evolving needs. Canaveras’s initial mission—to alleviate the hassle parents face in sourcing uniforms—remains at the heart of the business. As the company gears up for its new chapter in Seef Mall, House of Uniforms demonstrates a clear vision of growth anchored by strong community ties and commitment to quality.
