Egypt’s Top Ethical Brands

Local products, colorful collection, supports women artisans and animal advocates of the rescue scene in Egypt! That’s what Furbaby is all about and we love it. Not only has it made itself a solid name, synonymous with quality products for your furry friends, but it is also very supportive of female empowerment in the zabaleen area and a huge support for animals as well! For many pet owners, this is their top choice when purchasing pet beds and we are not surprised.

Jozzee is all about the color, the trendiness, the unique pieces that stand out and display excellent hand embroidered skills from women around our country.
