Currently, the new platform is available only in the Middle East, but plans to expand further to international markets soon. The Fitting Room serves to act as an interactive marketplace, connecting artisans from or based in the Middle East who value quality and originality, providing an online platform for the unmissable talent the Arabian Peninsula houses.

The Fitting Room started as a vision in 2013 by founder Shamlan Al Rifai, starting as a physical creative space, before undergoing a digital transformation in 2018 leading the brand to announce a momentous launch in 2023. The interactive shopping platform has the sole goal of redefining and revolutionising the fashion retail landscape, by prioritising the needs of its designer community with their shoppers’ senses of style. As part of the launch portfolio, The Fitting Room boasts a broad portfolio of men and women’s fashion, with brands including Clemantra, Elegance’s, The Shillah, Velroum, Hala Kastoun, State of Mind, KA-1 and Yehya Noutfaji.
