Coquitta

My name is Claudia, and I’m based in Cairo. Couple of years ago I thought that I need to do something different during my free time.  I love photography since I was a kid, so I attended some courses and started to practice my skills. Some photos you can see on my Facebook page Claudia Saba Photography.  I moved to Dubai for couple of years, but the weather there didn’t help much. I found myself attracted to handcrafts. After watching lots of videos, specially decoupage, I worked on some items that my family and friends loved the outcome. Their reaction encouraged me a lot to do it as a side business.  I moved back to Cairo and I launched Coquitta for arts and crafts. For the time being I do decoupage and wall art (acrylic pouring on canvas), and willing to try and do other handcrafts..  Working with my hands is my passion… I hope you like my work.

Hopper EG

My name is Norhan and I’m a recovering architect. I was always in awe of arabesque and Islamic architecture and materials. As an architecture student, I couldn’t wait to graduate and put more of what I loved to see out in the world. I spent a good three years after graduation moving between different architecture firms only to realize I’m slowly losing my passion and losing sight of my creativity to real estate companies and uniform compounds. I was blessed with Adam almost two years ago which meant I took a break to do the most rewarding job in the world of being a mother to a gorgeous child. Staying true to my luck, as soon as I was ready to rejoin the job market a literal global pandemic started. Thankfully though, it was a business in disguise. The creative juices started flowing again and I started sketching some designs with my favorite material, Copper in mind.  I am happy to share with you my design babies. I’m using high quality copper and base for the mobile cases. All the phases of creation are handmade and carried out under my careful watching eye (to the dismay of the coppersmith). The mobile cases are made to order with your choice of design, phone model and possible silver or gold plating. Those designs are very close to my heart so I hope you find as much joy using them as I found making them.

أنا أمنية رؤوف عندي ٣٢ سنة و أم لطفلين و صاحبة براند نولى حابة احكيلكو قصتي❤️

أنا طول عمري بحب الكتابة و خصوصا كتابة السيناريو و بعد محاولات سنين اني اوصل لحاجة موصلتش لأي حاجة فدخلت في اكتئاب و احساس فظيع بالفشل و قررت اني عاوزة اهرب من التفكير في أي حاجة تسحلني و ابتديت اركز في ديكور البيت فكنت عاوزة اجيب سجادة و شوفت سجادة كليم خلتني اعشق الكليم فقررت اني عاوزة اتعلم الكليم بس مالقتش كورس يعلمني فقولت خلاص هعمل نفسي من اليوتيوب و الانستجرام و كانت أول مشكلة اني مش عارفة اشتري نول لحد ما لقيت واحد اون لاين بس للاسف وصلي مكسور بس ولا همني و لزقته بالسوليتب و لأني كنت بتعلم من أجانب ع اليوتيوب فكانوا بيشتغلو بأدوات مش موجودة هنا فاخدت مبرد اظافر خشب و لزقته بالسوليتب و اشتغلت بيه و طلعت اول قطعة كليم و أنا من ساعتها صوت الخيوط و هي داخلة في بعض بيعملي راحة نفسية و ساعتها قررت لأول مرة اني لو فكرت اعمل مشروع هسميه نولي عشان النول هو اللي خلاني اتصالح مع نفسي و اكتشفها من جديد بس ساعتها قعدت افكر أيه المشروع اللي ممكن اعمله يشبعني من جوايا يخليني احس اني راضية عن نفسي و اقدر أخرج فيه كل طاقتي لحد ما شوفت بنت أجنبية بتعمل شنط بالكليم و أنا حبيت اوي الفكرة و حبيت فكرة أن يبقى عندي براند شنط على الرغم من أن عمري ما كنت البنت اللي بتهتم بالشنط و مركاتها و موضتها بس انا حسيت أن ده اللي هيوصلني نفسيا للي أنا محتجاه و زي ما هي متعة بالنسبالي أخلق شخصيات من دماغي فهي متعة باردو اني أخلق ديزاين من دماغي و زي ما كان نفسي اآثر في نفسية الناس بالايجاب من خلال اللي بكتبه فممكن باردو اآثر في نفسية بنات كتير و ابسطهم لما يلبسو شنطة مريحة أو مختلفة أو لما تخرج بيها و حد يقولها شنطتك شكلها حلو❤️، بس اول ما ابتديت مشروعي كان في حد بيساعدني أنه يقفلي شغلي بس لكذا سبب قررت من فترة بسيطة اني لازم اعتمد على نفسي و اعمل شغلي كله بنفسي كان خوف و تحدي اني اخد الخطوة دي خصوصا اللي حوالية كانو خايفين اني ادبس نفسي في مكنة و معرفش استخدمها لأني عمري ما اتعاملت مع مكن بس أنا قررت اني لازم اتحدى نفسي و اني اقدر أعلم نفسي من اليوتيوب زي ماعلمت نفسي الكليم و الكروشيه قبل كدا و فعلا جبتها و بعلم نفسي و ده جزء من الحاجات اللي عملتها و بقيت حاسة بثقة بجد و أنا بكتب hand made و بقيت حاسة بمتعة اكتر و أنا بصنع شيئ من اول لآخره و بصراحة مبسوطة بنفسي اني بكتشف فيها حاجة جديدة و اكتر حاجة بساطتني لما ابني قالي انتي احسن واحدة بتعمل شنط😂⁦❤️⁩

 بس أنا حابة اقول اكتر حاجة اتعلمتها من الموضوع ده أن كل واحد فينا جواه قوة و قدرة هو ممكن مش عارفها بس عشان يوصلها لازم يثق في نفسه و يصدقها⁦❤️

Ikram Leather Boutique

Hello There 👋👋

This is Ikram Hamido, a PhD Candidate and a part-time leather artisan..

Ikram Leather Boutique started when I was looking for a piece with a specific look, but I couldn't find it, so I simply learned how to make it!

I guarantee lots of colours in a unique piece that would cheer your outfit and make you stand out!

My business motto can be summarised as "One Piece, One Client". I don't make the same piece twice; maybe the same drawing and design but never the same colour palette.

Enjoy!

Donia Iskandar

Be dazzled charmed and spellbound by the new collection created by Donia!

The brand was born in 2013 but only came to maturity in 2017. Dazzle jewelry uses copper.925 sterling silver and 18 carat gold.   These art crafts are originally designed then handmade. They are inspired by different cultures and patterns.   Being an Egyptian and proud to be one, it was logical that Donia's Dazzle Logo would be chosen from the Pharaoh's heritage. So she chose the sacred scarab as her emblem and good luck charm and a true image of her Egyptian identity!   Donia was educated in sacre coeur school then went on to the American university in cairo to major in economics and graduated in 2005 .she started working in banks in Marketing and sales then finally found herself in the Art world.   It was during a sick spell,being confined to the house,that she found that working with her hands had a therapeutic effect!   And that's how her art come into being! Donia is always on the look out for the original and new. She has been supported in her endeavor by her father who is an artist in his own right (working with wood)   

 

Products are made with semi precious stones. And dazzle launches around 3 collections per year and its photo-shoot is made with love by fabiennephotog, fabienne atalla.

Shereen El Ayat Silver Creations

Dania Haytham

An artist and architect based in Cairo who anchors architecture with ink. Architecture always declares stories through its elements and I use ink to explore the relationship between elements, spaces, and art. Creating territories that change the narrative. Challenging your common perception of spaces and experimenting with mediums, architecture, and composition. Seeking inspiration in the elements we encounter everyday; details, layers, and textures.

MARWOODS

I am excited to share with you my short story I am Mrwa El-Shahat; an Architect & interior designer. Graduated from Fine Arts, Architecture department. I used to work as an Architectural designer and Throughout my time working in design and architecture and my constant love for colors, my dream was always to leave my mark in every design I work on to give the spirit, beauty and the difference that we need in our daily life, which encouraged me to follow my passion and take the decision to start my own Startup MARWOODS in Feb. 2019 to design Home Accessories and Furniture in a different way, which is by combining nature represented in the natural form of Wood with Epoxy resin. I learned by myself, watched online videos, contacted other designers around the world to help me, I tried and failed and tried again till I made my first collection on October 2019. All products are handcrafted with love #proudly_made_in_Egypt

Samar Gobran Jewelry

I am Samar Gobran the owner of Samar Gobran Jewelry.

My story stared when I joined a jewelry class in Dubai in 2009, that was it. I was hooked and since then I was trying to create small pieces but I still needed to learn a lot. In 2017 I left Dubai and came back to Egypt. It took me a few months to settle then I started studying jewelry making in Masagh academy and it was only then that I unleashed my creative self and started working in what I really love. Now I create jewelry in silver and copper with natural stones. My designs are never repeated the same way because I believe in being unique and in  the power of natural stones. 

It’s been almost 5 years and I am finally happy doing what I love.

“Driven by nature, flowers and hues of the sea… we make sure each created piece stands out with the use of premium fabrics and threads that have a luxurious and heartwarming feel to the eye and soul.” -Tassilia Joundi ‘019.<!–more–>* 10% of our profit goes to our initiative “Doll for Every Girl” *<!–more–>To know more, visit our Facebook Page and Instagram Profile<!–more–>
