The traditional crafts and handicrafts of the Red Sea government, particularly the Quseir and Safaga cities, can be felt in Perihan Abou Zeid's Bagaweet Fall/Winter 2024/2025 collection.

The designer alongside a work team headed to Quseir and Safaga where they trained women to design the inherited traditional crafts of their ancestors in a very skillful way that competes with high-end fashion.
