The startup provides a platform for local fashion brands and designers to market and sell their products, while providing customers with a one-stop-shop for stylish quality products at appealing prices.
“We have managed to reach 9,000 monthly recurring users without any funding – consumers are always seeking a better offering and we worked hard to offer them what they are looking for. For many years consumers lacked affordable, durable products to depend on rather than imported products, that are usually expensive and not the best quality,” Zakaria was quoted as saying by Egyptian media reports.
