Where
A small studio in Obour City.
Renée was started by Ahmed Omar and Youssef Omar in a small studio in Obour City, on the edge of Cairo. Every piece is pattern-cut, washed, and finished on the same block.

Our Story.
“Born again” isn’t a slogan — it’s the week when the linen hangs right and the cotton stops sticking.
— Ahmed Omar, founder · Youssef Omar, co-founder
How
Made on the same block, end to end.
Cottons sourced from the Mahalla cooperative. Twills cut on a single Juki, snap-set in the back of the studio, washed in a salt soak before they leave the block. Drop 01 is forty pieces a week — slow, on purpose.
Why
Made for the in-between weeks of the year.
Cairo dresses for fall in pieces — the city pulling its sleeves down, the dust in the wind softening the city's edges. Renée makes for that exact week. Drop 01 is everything we made before the wind picked up again.
