The online marketplace was created by Ghouth to re-define e-commerce in Saudi Arabia. She was inspired by her love for handmade products, and advocating sustainable production in consumerism. Ghouth believes that supporting local businesses outruns the benefits of buying from corporate companies.

In support of her country’s ambition and capabilities, Ghouth believes every product and startup has an underlying story that deserves to be heard.

The application looks to bridge the gap between artists and buyers, and rather unite local artists, designers, and craftsmen all onto one platform.
