Born from a hug.

In the Middle East, food is never just food. It's how a mother says I love you. It's how a neighbour welcomes you home. It's the centre of every story worth retelling.

Damma — ضمة — means "hug" in Arabic. We chose the name because that's exactly what we wanted our products to do. Hug your food. Hug your family's health. Hug the planet that fed us first.

The brand was born from a quiet frustration: the plastic bags we used to protect our food were polluting the world we were trying to nourish. We started with a simple question — what if a bag could hug your food the way you hug your family? Gently. Completely. Without ever letting go.

Why it matters

Plastic bags are a quiet daily betrayal of the things we say we care about. Damma is the small, repeatable choice that makes the right thing the easy thing. Every meal you store is a quiet act of care — for the people you love, and for the world they'll inherit. We don't think sustainability is a campaign. We think it's how love behaves when nobody's watching.

Our materials

Damma is made from premium platinum-cured silicone — the same grade used in baby bottles and medical equipment. It's BPA-free, FDA-approved, dishwasher-safe (top rack), microwave-safe up to +220°C, and freezer-safe down to −40°C. Each Damma is engineered for thousands of uses. The seal is interlocking ridges that close tighter under pressure — the opposite of plastic ziplocks.

Where we're going

Damma started in Lebanon and is built for the Middle East. The region's love of food, hospitality, and home cooking deserves tools as thoughtful as the meals they hold. We're slowly expanding across the GCC and beyond. If you've ever caught yourself saying where is my damma? — that's the highest compliment we could earn. Welcome to the family.
