Kylie Jenner dons rising Egyptian label FASTFACT
Another day, another Kylie Jenner co-sign n for rising Egyptian handbag dbag label Aliel. The reality lity television star and beauty uty mogul was seen championing oning the upand- coming Arab brand for the third time e over the weekend.
This time, Jenner r chose the brand’s Ghalia bag ag in orange to elevate her Kim Shui Studio tie top and skirt. The 23-year-old accesssorized her outfit t with strappy, translucent cent Gianvito Rossi pumps and dainty ty gold Christian Dior ior jewelry. It appears that Aliel’s Ghalia bag g is a go-to going out accessory for Jenner. She was first spotted rocking the Egyptian handbag label back in August. She opted for a salmon-colored number to attend singer Justine Skye’s 25th birthday bash at Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Beverly Hills home and wore the geometric bag again just a couple of weeks later, in September.
The designer, Leila Abo Tira, previously told Arab News: “I always dreamed that one day Aliel would be celebrated globally.”
And it appears that her dreams are slowly coming true. The label’s luxurious designs have also been sported by US actress Joey King and Egyptian model and actress Salma Abu Deif in recent weeks. Aliel — an ananym of Leila — was founded by the Cairo-based designer in 2017 after the 29-yearold marketing graduate left her corporate career behind to pursue her love of fashion.
Abo Tira, who hails from a family who have been in the leather-manufacturing business for decades, has released five handcrafted collections to date – Ghalia is the fifth – and is preparing to launch her first footwear collection soon.
The Ghalia collection features leather bags with two handles – one featuring pure agate stones and the other a long gold chain.

The bag, priced at $320, is sold out on the brand’s website as are the other seven styles, however, those who wish to take a style cue from Jenner will be pleased to know that there are several styles available on Eastwave Concept — a virtual pop-up concept that supports an array of designers from the Middle East and North Africa.
