My name is Samar Halawa, I am a mother of 3 years old twins, philanthropist and founder of TARI Designs. It all started when I was in a self discovery journey which happened through out my postpartum depression. I have always been a shoe addict and this encouraged me to take a shoe design course. I really enjoyed every class, assignment and project. Then I decided that I wanna build my brand to have High quality real leather heels and shoes for women. I kept on working and searching for factories, workshops, craftsmen to start on implementing my designs but it was super hard since everyone are working with sky leather (geld sena3y) for women shoes and specially heels. It’s like a dying industry in our country. Then I finally found a great factory and started on producing my designs using high quality real leather to guarantee comfort, breathability and durability. As for my inspiration, I am extremely passionate about the ancient Egyptian art and history. So inspired by the glory of this era, We design all our shoes and handcraft them using real leather, made by local artisans. Our high quality durable shoes are made to last and also to standout! Our name derives from Nefertari, the beautiful Egyptian queen. Nefertari, which means “Beautiful Companion” is what we wish our TARI shoes would be for you. Wear them in confidence, with pride and for beauty. Fiercely Egyptian, proudly handcrafted and locally designed real leather shoes. Our inspiration comes from ruling queens, golden lands and magnificent monuments. It comes from all the intricate details of art and glorious history of Ancient Egypt.
