“Egyptian batik art initially tried to convert old cuts to models easy to wear and use in everyday life and with time many styles emerged, some follow a part of the global fashion, while others are a trendsetter, which was our goal from the beginning, to be the one who makes fashion, and not to imitate it,” said Hassanien.

* Batik art prices
The prices for batik art are determined based on the fabric and the amount of work put in it.
“About 90% of the fabrics used are 100% natural, whether if they are cotton “voile” and “lino” or from the fibers made from natural sources, such as the “rayon” or the “viscose”.
Price range starting from EGP450 for short blouses to EGP1250 for wide, long dresses.
