With a celebrity fan following that includes Emma Stone and Emma Watson, Cairo-based sisters Aya and Mounaz Abdel Raouf are clearly going places with their label, Okhtein.

The accessories brand is known not only for quirky, original prints, but also its promotion of traditional Egyptian culture and arts.

Okhtein – the name comes from the Arabic word for “two sisters” – specializes in bags made of leather, cotton, canvas and straw. Each collection is given a different feel and is entirely made within the country, as a way to support the local community of craftsmen and women.
