Local brands are getting more and more popular in Egypt. When one person makes a new Instagram or Facebook page selling their business idea, it inspires others to jumpstart their brands of diverse and creative ideas.

But we’re not complaining; we love purchasing from the many local Egyptian fashion brands newly populating the country. And with crocheted and bead items being all the rage lately, we thought we’d share five local brands where you can shop them for all your fashion statement needs!

Kaian is a byproduct of the owner of Yara, experimenting with making crocheted items to pass the time during Covid. Yara taught herself the art through YouTube videos and was motivated by her desire to stop the narrative that crocheting is only a hobby for grandmas. We’re impatiently waiting for the top-tier quality and affordably priced brand to drop its upcoming seasonal collections!
