And Company:Comfortable, Elegant Home Accessories in Cairo

Given Egypt's international fame for its high-quality cotton, it seems natural that the local fashion industry would be a flourishing one. Think again. The localobsession with imported fashion in recent years hasn't helped home-grown fashion labels, buta few smart businesspeople and local designers havemanaged to successfullytap into the potential of the country's most famous commodity. Their companies are producing ever-more fashionable, affordable and chic designs for local consumption and international export. We applaud them for their efforts to take back the local fashion market– they've put the 'Egyptian' back into Egyptian cotton, and it's never looked better.

And Company

While mostly known for their heavenly bedding (the most luxurious of high-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet covers ever), AndCompany (also referred to as & Co) offers anice selectionof simple, high-quality garments in Zamalek and Maadi. Think deliciously soft trousers, tank tops, casual t-shirts and tunics in classic pastel colours and black, brown and white. We adore the flattering yoga trousers, which can be stylishly worn outside of the yoga studio. While these clothes aren't cheap– prices start at about 150 LE– they are made of the finest cotton and will last for a very long time.

Dalydress

Despite the dowdy name, Dalydress actually offers the stylish shopper a respectable range of sweaters, tops, oxford-style shirts and accessories. We especially like the flowing, silky tunic-style tops in appealing prints for aclassy yet relaxed outing outfit.The classic sweaters come in a variety of colours and necklines, and the oxford shirts are simple enoughto jazz up with accessories. Some very nice scarves, casual jewellery and surprisingly stylish handbags are also on offer. Theorganisation of the shop by colour is helpful– go straight for your preferred hueand look through the various stylesto find exactly what you're looking for.While not as cheap as we would like, with tops starting at around 200LE, we feel that the quality and style-quotaof the garments is high.Dalydress is definitely worth a look, especially for those basic, durablepieces that are hard to find elsewhere.

Fabulous

This local fashion chain has been largely ignored by chic Cairenes. We can't really blame them; the shop's kitschy sign isn't exactly an invitation to style and some of their stock is simply a fashion nightmare. Despite these drawbacks, Fabulous does actually offer some very wearable options and deserves a second look. The shop has a great selection of basic tops, maxi dresses, lycra skirts and leggings in every colour and in relaxed cotton. Prices are ridiculously low, starting at around 25LE for abasic tank top or 50LE for a cute, empire-waist stretchshirt in basic black. Stock atthe shop’s various branches is not createdequal and is better on some days than others– be sure to check regularly for the best finds.

Mobaco

Everyone knows Mobaco for its Camel icon polo shirts. Indeed, this local brand is ace when it comes to branding and image. What many people don't know about Mobaco is that they offer so much more than polo shirts. the brand’s menswear and women’s wear collections are varied, high-quality and of international style standards. We adore their sweaters and their excellent selection of dark-wash jeans. With prices beginning at around 150LE for a top and 300LE for jeans, Mobaco's selection is not to be missed.

On Safari

This brand is not all about Safari clothes; the name is just another ill-advised branding choice. Looking past that; On Safari does offer some potentially interesting finds at ideal prices. On agood day at On Safari you, could potentially walk away with a nice top or two, and maybe a key accessory or a surprisingly chic scarf. Don't get your hopes up too high– low expectations are key to any shopping venture– and you just might find a good piece at On Safari. With prices starting at a reasonable 150LE, it’s worth a look.

Best bit

The t-shirts with Egyptian comic strip designs are way cool.

Worst bit

Although comfortable, the tops for women are not very body-conscious.

360 Tip

The clothes at On Safari are not fashion forward; but they’re definitely comfy and classic basics that you’ll want to have in your closet if you’re an avid traveller.
