This Eid is all about celebrating the people who make it special – the Muslim community. Therefore, in true spirit of this holiday, we thought it would be very cutesy, very demure of us to curate a list of cool artists that honour the resonance of this season through their craft, creative flair and all. Spectacular, give me 14 of ’em right now (technically 17, but who’s counting 😅):
studiotanais
In the world of studio tanais, fragrance, beauty, and words collide to make for the perfect haven of creative excellence. Meet Bangladeshi provocateur Tanaïs, whose brilliance turned diasporic longing and multifaceted identity into a perfumery niche that’s got everyone talking. Engimatic scents. Compelling vision. Revolutionary ideas.
louhaichyworld
Louhaichy World (pronounced Lou-Hay-Shee) describe their clothing brand as “A love letter from NYC to North Africa 🇲🇦.” After scrolling through their Instagram, we honestly understand why. From balancing third culture identity to bridging an intergenerational gap through the creative eye, they’re definitely ones to look out for.
byhasanat
Nooo, you can never have too many cute abayas, hayati! Especially not when they’re from By Hasanat, a London-based brand made by two sisters, for their sisters. The visionary pair describe stocking up on cute abayas from Dubai whenever they’d visit, until they just decided to fill that gap themselves – rosy florals and playful polka-dots await.
tlidaofficial
This Qatari-based brand is bringing the heat, and we’re here for it 🔥. An outlet where feminine silhouettes flirt with stereotypically masculine lines and contrary editorial vision, Tlida says you can be both in style. Lush velvets conceal a pop of red neck tie, sharp collars contrast pillowy curls, white stitching defines high collars … it just works.
Before we continue with the four upcoming brands, Cosmo ought to introduce Yara Alnamlah, the girlboss enterpenuer that made them. Yup, you read that right. Landing a spot in Forbes 30 under 30, the Saudi trailblazer is not slowing down anytime soon either.
moonglaze
Hayati, the first grassroots Saudi brand just hit the shelves of Sephora! We’re actually so hyped 😆. The brand is not only super aesthetically pleasing, but they also prioritise quality and range in their lines to make for the perf Eid gift or a little treat for yourself too, we won’t judge. Their Phases Blush Sticks are a must-try.
somatcha.me
Yes, we’re brazenly writing about matcha. And yes, for a brand like Yara’s, we’d do it again. From top-tier matcha to the sweet bites you wouldn’t wanna miss, So Matcha ME is where it’s at. Calling all our Saudi girlies, you know which spot to hit up next 🍵ིྀ🍓🤍༘⋆。˚
treatproducts
Looking to treat yourself? Well, look no further than … Treat 🎀. Hmm, we see what they did there. For all things beauty and wellness, take it from us when we say this one is far from all the gimmicks. Their most recent Eid packages include the Treat minikit, featuring their fan-favourite cleanser, toner, and cream. Run, babe, run.
tinkacosmetics
If regular polishes on the market just aren’t doing it for you anymore, Tinka Cosmetics has got you covered. Curated with intention and care, Tinka is non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan – ah yes, the holy trinity in the nail polish game. Their bundles for Eid are also the perfect choice for a fail-proof gift this season, just saying.
studionadadebs
Bouncing between Beirut, Dubai, and Osaka, interior designer Nada Debs brings the world to tradition and tradition to the world. A cosmopolitan herself, Debs draws from Levantine culture to make the most representative, chic furniture for your home this Eid. From the studio’s iconic Obi Floating Stools to their Clear C Table, this one’s up there.
bambah
Bambah Studio’s thing is making cute abayas, and they’re really good at it. Their Valencia Set is actually to die for, blending lush magentas and rich navys for the perfect fit to rock this Eid (if it stays on stock 🙈). Flowy kaftans to textured abayas are the vibe, and this Dubai-based brand is doing it justice. Check them out, diva!
sarahsbag
Welcome to handbag heaven, you’re at Sarah’s! This Lebanese brand is taking community and craftsmanship to another level with its innovative designs and inclusive business model. From handbags inspired by Arab tawle to oriental clutches and velvet robes, stumbling upon their Instagram is a death trap for your credit card, every. Time.
housejanolo
Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend was seriously right. Sisters Dujanah and Oloof Jarrar believed them and made us believe it, too. Drawing inspiration from NY and Abu Dhabi, the sisters work with precious gems, 18k gold, and the funkiest prints to make a lovechild of Pinterest mania. We fear this has become our wishlist … oops.
khwaab.club
The cool shades scene is now owned by Arab designers. Sorry, we don’t make the rules. Founder @zozosfits gets it. Having impeccable style herself (check out her Instagram, you won’t regret it), she understands the cherry on top is always gonna be a pair of sunnies to make the fit. She said may as well make ’em, and thank God she did.
amyshehab_official
It’s hard to box Amy Shehab in. First, she stunned our feeds with chunky diamonds that blind you through the screen, then she branched out into the coolest of fits that her sister Sandra would always model (a style icon herself, FYI). Together, the Egyptian-American sisters dropped Amy’s new butter yellow bag, and we’ve so added to cart.
nia.miaofficial
These Southeast Asian sisters make princess outfits for the modern it girl because they just have that thing. From creativity to cultural understanding to sheer brilliance, it doesn’t matter what we call it; they’ve just … got it. Vibrant blue prints and enchanting florals decorate their feed, and Dubai’s @thevibefashions’ too. Run while you still can.
autonomie.official
Autonomie Official is the nostalgia bliss of our dreams, and we don’t wanna wake up. Centring their brand around stillness and movement, the up-and-coming fashion hub understands the importance of play between structure and flow. From more tailored pieces in their Wild Rust FW26 collection to their Golden Belle dress, we Cosmo a-pproved.
vibeybeauty
Last but most definitely not least, meet Vibey Beauty, a brand we couldn’t not have on our list. 100% Saudi and 100% fairy dust, the brand founded by Miss Asail brings you killer makeup that won’t break the bank. It’s also 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. With pigmented blushes like no other, this is an easy pick for Cosmo this Eid.
