MALAIKA
The Cairo brand is among Egypt’s foremost purveyors of fine linens—each featuring elegant motifs culled from the surrounding region that have been hand-threaded by local women whom they train in embroidery. The abundance of the Nile River is celebrated in this collection, with everything from daisies and palm trees to birds, rosebuds, greenery, and tulips embroidered, or else hand-printed, on cotton and linen placemats, napkins, and tablecloths, and ceramic tableware.
