Okhtein, which translates to "Sisters" in Arabic, is an Egyptian brand founded by the Abdelraouf sisters, Aya and Mounaz.

The creative duo established the brand in 2013 to fill a void in the Egyptian luxury market by promoting Egyptian artistry's refinement both at home and on the international stage. Okhtein produces locally to honor this and each item has a "unique provenance with deep cultural associations."

Aya and Mounaz, who were born and raised in Cairo, were drawn to fashion at a young age. Their grandmother was influential in shaping their fashion tastes and perceptions. The sisters would rummage through clothes their grandmother had saved from the 1960s and 1970s, which made a fashionable impression.
