For thousands of years the Nile has been Egypt’s lifeline. The shores along the Nile are incredibly fertile explosions of palm groves leading to dramatic sand dunes. It is in this verdant corridor that villages such as Sohag and Assyut flourished and communities got busy making textiles since ancient times. This collection is inspired by the landscape along the Nile and partly crafted by women from these villages that continue to uphold these textile traditions.
Malaika was founded in 2004 by Margarita Andrade and Goya Gallagher who, after growing up in their native Ecuador, ended up living and settling in Egypt. With a background in design and a keen interest in embroidery, crochet and hand-drawn thread work, they decided to utilize Egyptian cotton to produce high quality bed linen previously not available in the local market. Since the launch of its first collection, the brand has been flourishing: In 2009 Malaika built its own factory, enabling absolute control on quality and craftsmanship, and in 2018, it opened its own embroidery school.
