4 Cool Saudi Brands You Need To Know
Yasmina Q
Founded by Saudi Arabian designer, Yasmina Qanzal, Yasmina Q is a contemporary womenswear brand that focuses on sustainability, while also taking a conscious approach to the local communities and skilled workers it works with. All fabrics are sustainably sourced and feature FSC certified ECOVERO viscose and ‘deadstock’ materials – we’re particularly drawn to the easy knitwear, beach-friendly dresses and co-ords.

Arwa Al Banawi
Arwa Al Banawi debuted her eponymous label in 2015 and showcased her latest collection at Riyadh Fashion Week. Known for her innovative approach and distinctive aesthetic, previous collections have seen her merge streetwear with exaggerated tailoring, while also nodding to her heritage and culture. In her most recent collection, it was the oversized kaftans and tailored suits – as well as the pops of colour and print – that caught our eye.

Alanoud Alsalem
Saudi ready-to-wear label, Alanoud Al Salem, was founded in 2014 by local entrepreneur, Alanoud Alsalem. With a focus on simplicity, elegance, and tailoring, the pieces are all about understated elegance – the colours are monochromatic, the silhouettes are simple but stunning and the details are modern and feminine. We love the draped neck maxi dress with the tie waist detail, and the tailored gown with its cape-like statement collar.
