Maison69
A concept store that reads like a collector's dream. Maison69 curates a tight mix of Egyptian and international brands, from the sharp minimalism of Dina Shaker to the street-style edge of Siko and Essentials. Story
For the mother who turns heads. Story is a luxury concept store championing homegrown talent, stocking bold designs from Egyptian labels like Meroë, to innovative new fragrance brands like Abeer's. YSL Beauty
A red-lip-and-no-regrets kind of gift. YSL's Slim Velvet lipstick is a beauty staple, and if fragrance is on the list, Libre is the power move—sharp, sensual, and impossible to ignore. Valentino
For a scent that sticks around long after the 21st, Valentino's perfumes do the job. Bold but sophisticated, their 'Born in Roma' bottles are keepsakes—and not just for the vanity aesthetic. Elisabetta Franchi
Italian tailoring meets effortless confidence. Think sleek blazers, fluid silhouettes, and pieces that take a woman from work to wherever. A wardrobe upgrade that works hard but looks easy. Azza Fahmy
Jewellery that speaks. Each piece is a dialogue in gold and silver, blending Egyptian heritage with contemporary design, making cultural storytelling wearable. Okhtein
A statement in handbag form. Okhtein's Palmette Minaudière and Dome Belt Bag are standout designs—refined, distinctive, and just as coveted by mothers as they are by the fashion set. Nado's
Glamour, but make it local. Nado's fine jewelry fuses Egyptian heritage with contemporary silhouettes, making it a subtle but striking Mother's Day move. Pinko
Not for the faint-hearted. Pinko's classic Love Bags and sharp tailoring are for the mother who never does 'just enough.' Loud, confident, and unmistakably Italian. Twinset
The soft power of romance. Twinset's lace-draped, flowing designs channel European elegance with just the right amount of drama. Flair Boutique
The final word in statement fashion. Flair curates a rotating roster of cult-favorite designers, from local visionaries to international names. If your mother has been dropping hints, this is where to listen.
