Kandil was inspired by the luxury of house clothes in films dated back to the era of white and black. She used the Egyptian cotton from a contemporary perspective while preserving the identity of the Egyptian house and appreciation for the upscale Egyptian cotton.

She named her designs ANTIKA in appreciation of all the classic details of the beautiful past to present it to us as "premium clothing"

* Small details

There is no doubt that house clothes have many small details that the designer takes into account and selects them with precision, such as relying on the netting cotton for ornament, or caring for cleaning of the interior parts of the piece.

Kandil sees that the pocket is a beautiful addition to the house clothes and it is indispensable and has many functional uses. She adds the inner pocket that does not appear in the model. She began to care about packaging design to reach the elegant costumer whether buys online or through direct purchase.
