Two Sisters, One Fashion Direction

Egyptian brand Okhtein works tradition in fashioning modern bags.

As the Eurythmics song goes, "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves", and Aya and Mounaz Abdelraouf certainly are doing it for themselves and international fashionistas alike with their luxury brand Okhtein. The two Egyptian sisters behind Okhtein, aptly meaning two sisters in Arabic, have created statement pieces that blend into your style while maintaining a standout attitude. Artisanal craftsmanship is the hallmark of the Cairo-based brand with a specialty in working with brass, a nod to the traditional savoir-faire mastered by artisans in Cairo. The result, a collection of bags that wonderfully intertwine tradition and modernity including this metallic iridescent clutch inspired by the architecture of the Fatimid dynasty.
