 طلاسم الحب 

Saqhoute's foundation lies in the ancestral journey of our Creative Director's history and a unique yet relatable story of where the "Sakkout" family originates. In the process of further deepening the purpose of why the Brand Saqhoute exists, Norhan was drawn to the root of the family, the Sakkout Mansion (سراي السكوت) in a small agricultural village called Tafahna El Azab (تفهنا العزب). Norhan's Great-Grandfather travelled north from Upper Egypt and built the family mansion in 1889, 100 years before Norhan was born. And with the 10th Capsule Collection for Saqhoute, Norhan was compelled to tell her story of origin, which has been the greatest inspiration for her work.

The Saray Jacket

Made from factory denim leftover (deadstock), the Saray Jacket is part of our 10th capsule collection, Talismans of Love, inspired by Norhan’s old family mansion, Saray El Sakkout. The mansion features some of the most intricate designs, one of which is a large curved stained glass window situated in the dining hall of the mansion and the main inspiration for the Jacket.

To Norhan, denim waste and patchwork can take on a new life, engaging in a visual dialogue that cements their deeper meaning by fusing them with heritage storytelling and quality execution. 

The Senna Corset

Displayed alongside the Saray Jacket is the Senna Corset made from 100% denim waste. Smaller patches were repurposed into a striped corset inspired by the beams of sunlight that make their way into the Sakkout Mansion, thanks to the architecture that allows them to enter into the alcoves of the multistory Saray.
