About the Brand: Gebraa Egyptian Craft
We have two main drives; the first is to secure a good future for our children, so we have to be capable of providing them their basic needs in having shelter and food before trying to educate them by creating job opportunities while focusing on the handicrafts since Egypt has a competitive edge in this sector as Egypt has a very long history of many generations of traditional guilds of handicrafts. The Egyptian product has its unique form according to its origins.
Our second motive is that being an Egyptian can be confusing in relation to our identity are we Africans, Arabs, Mediterranean, or Middle Eastern?! This is untrue because we forgot about our roots going through handicrafts and the historical value they bring with it a lot of light on the Egyptians true identity.
