Bait Elowal Launches Naseem: A Summer Pop-Up Celebrating Arab Fashion, Identity & Craftsmanship in Sharjah

This June, Bait Elowal is home to Naseem, the summer pop-up curated by this cultural and culinary destination in the Heart of Sharjah, bringing together three of the Arab world’s most compelling design voices: Dima Ayad, Bil Arabi by Nadine Kanso, and L’Afshar by Lilian Afshar.

Located within the restored two-story heritage home of Bait Elowal, overlooking Sharjah Creek, the space itself is part of the story. From the Moroccan Zellige tiles to the centuries-old architecture, the curated displays are the perfect home for this cool, breezy summer pop-up.

Dima Ayad presents her signature silhouettes: fluid kaftans, ombré layers and metallic accents that honour all body types. “My work is about structure and softness coexisting,” she says. “About women feeling seen, no matter their shape.”

Nadine Kanso, founder of Bil Arabi, offers her iconic 18k gold jewellery pieces infused with Arabic calligraphy and the language of love. “It’s about belonging. About heritage you can wear on your skin,” Nadine shares.

Lilian Afshar brings the architectural clarity of her handcrafted clutches and objets d’art under the L’Afshar label. Her approach reflects a deep reverence for design as function and emotion. “Each piece is a balance between lightness and power,” she notes.
