Nevin Altmann Shop Zamalek

This brand dates back to 1988 when its founder took a trip to the Siwa Oasis in the west of Egypt and fell in love with the traditional embroidery work made by the area’s women. Knowing that without a market for their products, the ladies, who, for generations, had passed their skills down through generations, would lose this tradition, Altmann made it her mission to promote and distribute their products. Over the years, she has modernized and expanded the range to include traditional crafts from other Egyptian regions like Nubia, and her daughter has joined the business.
