OKHTEIN Unveils Its First Store in the GCC in Dubai

OKHTEIN, the illustrious Egyptian luxury fashion brand founded by visionary sisters Aya and Mounaz Abdelraouf, is set to make a grand debut in Dubai with the opening of its first store at City Walk on November 13.. Known for its exquisite fusion of traditional Arab aesthetics and contemporary elegance, OKHTEIN embodies a unique design ethos that resonates deeply with both regional pride and global curiosity.

“We are beyond excited to bring the essence of OKHTEIN to Dubai, a city that embodies innovation and culture,” said Aya Abdelraouf. The first store opening in Dubai is not just a milestone for Okhtein; it’s a celebration of the incredible journey the brand has had and the vibrant community that it has garnered in the past eleven years. Mounaz and Aya, the sisters who share the reins on the creative direction, started the brand in 2013 to build the ideology of building a true luxury brand and promoting the local artistry of Egypt.

 

The Dubai OKHTEIN store opening will showcase their Gold Collection, which features rich textures like goat skin, cowhide and suede. The colour palette, ranging from elegant browns, blacks and beiges to striking metallic golds and silvers offers something for every occasion. Each piece is meticulously crafted with luxurious details, such as gold and palladium-plated brass hardware, intricate beadwork and soft alcantara interior, making every Item a statement of elegance.

With a decade of remarkable achievements—including winning the Emigala Award for Jewelry Designer of the Year and receiving accolades from international celebrities—OKHTEIN’s expansion into Dubai marks a significant chapter in its narrative. The store will showcase the brand’s celebrated items including The Gold Collection, a special tribute to its 10th anniversary, alongside an array of iconic evening handbags that marry bold creativity with impeccable Italian craftsmanship.

OKHTEIN’s presence in Dubai further solidifies its role in the global fashion dialogue. Noteworthy collaborations, such as its partnership with French Fashion House Balmain at Paris Fashion Week in 2023, and a recent exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London highlight the brand's commitment to bridging the gap between Middle Eastern luxury and international markets.

Join OKHTEIN in celebrating the grand opening of its store at City Walk, where tradition elegantly intertwines with modernity. Celebrate each OKHTEIN piece that tells stories of strength, beauty, and the rich tapestry of Arab culture.
