Bags with the Story of Egypt

The article discusses the success of the Egyptian fashion brand Okhtein, founded by sisters Aya and Mounaz Abdelraouf. Inspired by the historical architecture and craftsmanship of Old Cairo, their luxury handbags combine traditional Egyptian metalwork with modern design. The brand uses intricately engraved copper instead of logos, drawing motifs like stylized palm leaves from historical sites such as the Ibn Kalavun complex. Their designs subtly incorporate elements of Egypt’s cultural heritage rather than overtly referencing iconic landmarks like pyramids. The brand has gained international recognition, with celebrities such as Beyoncé and Gigi Hadid wearing their products.
