Egyptian cotton, cut the way Egypt cuts it
A short, chosen selection online — and a shop appointment for everything that has to be tried on. Most of what is worth buying is not on this page, and that is deliberate.
Why this page is short on purpose
Clothing is the one category where buying from a photograph usually disappoints. Sizing is not standardised, cut varies between makers, and the weight of a fabric is something your hand tells you and a screen cannot. So the website shows a small selection to give you the idea, and the real choosing happens in a shop with the pieces in front of you.
Worn during the trip, not just after it
The travellers who get the most out of this buy early in the trip rather than on the last afternoon. A galabeya bought on day two is worn at dinner on the Nile, in the desert, and in every photograph taken afterwards — which is a different souvenir from one that comes out of a suitcase at home.

Start the conversation
Nothing is charged here and nothing is confirmed. You will get a reply with the specification, the price and the date it can be ready.
- Nothing is charged before you have seen and tried the piece.
- The appointment is a time to look, not a commitment to buy.
- Sizes and stock are confirmed with the shop before we promise you anything.
Questions
Not for clothing, and that is deliberate rather than a limitation. Sizing is not standardised and fabric weight is something you judge by hand, so we arrange for you to try things instead of shipping you a guess.
Yes, and it is worth timing on purpose — choosing an outfit early in the trip means it can be worn on the shoot rather than bought after it. Tell us on the form if that is the plan and we will arrange the shop visit before your shoot date.
No. We arrange the appointment and come with you; the shop is a specialist we work with. You buy from them directly, at their price.
