Egyptian women are absolutely killing it in the business world, creating brands that are not just thriving but also empowering and game-changing. And on International Women’s Day, it’s about time we celebrate them.
From fashion to skincare to food (because we all need our donuts), these women are leading the charge. Let’s dive into some of the coolest, most inspiring women-led brands in Egypt right now!
Fati’s – Fatma Youssef
If you haven’t tried Fati’s yet, you’re seriously missing out! Starting as a humble home business, Fati’s grew into a full-blown dessert empire with a two-floor production facility.
The dreamy donuts, fun aprons, and Ramadan-themed goodies have been driving everybody insane. Oh, and did we mention they even have their own coffee brand, PNK? Fati’s has been on Shark Tank, hit up major festivals like DAZ in Al Ain, and is now on the ground at District 5. Iconic.
Self The Brand – Nayra Nassar
What started as a quest for the perfect microfiber towel and satin pillowcase turned into SELF—the ultimate self-care brand. Pajamas? Check. Isdals? Check. bathrobes and bags? Check.
But SELF isn’t just about products—it’s about community. Founded by women, for women, this brand is all about empowerment, premium Egyptian fabrics, and making sure your self-care game is on point.
Temraza – Farida Temraz
If you’ve seen a Hollywood star strutting a red carpet in a stunning gown, chances are it was a Temraza creation. Farida Temraz took the global fashion scene by storm, making history as the first Egyptian designer to win at Paris Fashion Week.
Her designs sculpt, enhance, and celebrate the female form with intricate embroidery and luxurious fabrics. A true fashion powerhouse.
Maram Borhan – Maram Borhan
Bridal couture, but make it dreamy. Maram Borhan has been blessing us with ethereal, feminine designs since 2017. From delicate embroidery to flowing, fairytale-esque silhouettes, her gowns redefine elegance. And if you love her couture but want something more every day? Her ready-to-wear line, Maram The Label, serves all the chic, high-street vibes.
Nuit Fragrances – Salma El Khamisy
Salma El Khamisy didn’t just start a perfume brand—she created an experience. With a talent for storytelling through scent, she left the corporate world to launch Nuit, where every fragrance feels like a memory in a bottle. Her marketing? Immaculate. She’ll describe a scent so well you’ll feel like you need it before you’ve even tried it.
Euphoria Denims – Nada Amin
Finding the perfect pair of jeans is basically a traumatic experience, but Euphoria Denims is here to change that. Nada Amin built her brand with a mission: high-quality, inclusive, locally made denim.
With sizes ranging from 34 to 54, Euphoria is all about celebrating every body type. Forget all about the emotional recovery after a bad jeans shopping trip.
Mother-Naked – Nada Taher
Mother-Naked is redefining clean beauty. As a mom of twins, Nada wanted safe skincare products made with natural ingredients, ensuring they’re gentle enough for babies while still being effective for adults. No fuss, no harmful chemicals—because moms don’t have time for complicated routines. Mother-Naked is all about transparency, simplicity, and products you can trust.
These brands aren’t just making waves—they’re rewriting the rules. Whether it’s in fashion, beauty, or food, Egyptian women are proving that local businesses can be just as powerful (if not more) than global giants. So, this International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate and support these incredible women-led brands. Who runs the world? You already know the answer.
