As an entrepreneur, having a business partner can always be the greatest advantage, especially with sharing responsibilities and brainstorming ideas. Who better to share your business with other than someone you can trust as much as a member of your own family? Although we know that siblings aren’t often the best of friends, there are few that have become the ultimate entrepreneurial dream teams. Here, we have put together a list of all the Arab sister owned brands that you should support.

Contemporary fashion brand Nafsika Skourti founded in 2014, is owned by Jordanian sisters Nafsika and Stephanie. They design their pieces with “an acute sensitivity to the female voice.” Before joining forces, the sisters had two polar-opposite backgrounds, with Nafsika being a fashion graduate from Central Saint Martins and trained in Haute Couture in Paris, whilst Stephanie was a graduate of Law from Warwick University. Together the two of them have created a brand which is meaningful to both themselves as well as their customers with quality clothing aimed to last you a lifetime. DISCOVER MORE
