The Legacy of Precision

A journey through generations of uncompromising tailoring in Cairo, where every stitch carries the story of the modern gentleman forward.

The Architect of Style

Abdelwahab Fayed

In 1970, Abdelwahab Fayed opened a small workshop in Cairo, driven by an obsession with precision and proportion. Decades of hand-cutting and hand-finishing followed, building a house whose reputation was carried by the fit of a single shoulder line. That same discipline guides every garment leaving the house today.

1970

The First Stitch

The house opens its doors, hand-cutting its first bespoke commission with tools passed down through the family.

The Following Decades

A Growing Reputation

Tailoring workshop with bolts of cloth and cutting tables

Word of the house's fit and finish spreads by referral alone, and a second generation of cutters joins the workshop.

A New Generation

Preserving the Craft

Training is formalised so that hand-canvassing and hand-finishing are carried forward rather than lost to time.

Today

The Modern House
