This week, #BuroSpotlights Kuwaiti handbag brand Marzook.
Founded in 2012, the Kuwaiti handbag label Marzook is undoubtedly on most of our wishlists, if not already in our closets. But how many of us actually know the story behind the brand? The brainchild of siblings Shouq and Fahad Al Marzook, the brand has become synonymous with statement-making handbags. But how did the magnificent label come to be? Well, on accident. Yes, Marzook’s maiden collection was born from designs created for the founders’ family and a tight-knit circle of friends.
Since its inception over a decade ago, the brand has cemented its reputation as a statement-making handbag brand not only in the region but globally. In fact, the label has made its way into the wardrobes of major international celebrities, including Beyoncé. This deep connection with their heritage and multicultural influences is evident in every Marzook piece, each one telling a story of its own. The brand’s ethos of non-instinctive thinking and the principles of surrealism push the boundaries of conventional design, making each piece a wearable work of art.
Marzook’s journey from an accidental debut collection to a globally recognized luxury brand is a testament to the power of authenticity and individuality. Fahad and Shouq Al Marzook have proven that staying true to one’s creative vision can resonate with a global audience, inspiring both fashion enthusiasts and industry leaders alike. The sibling duo’s unique approach to design, blending art, architecture, and nature, continues to set the brand apart in the competitive world of fashion.
