NAFSIKA SKOURTI

This Palestinian brand was founded by sisters Nafsika and Stephanie Skourti who believe in using their morality and design intellect to create a fashion brand that grows in value. Delving away from the usual modest-only fashion, the label likes to blend a mixture of sensuality with modesty. As seen in the “Memories of a Home I Never Lived In” collection, the sisters embody Palestinian inspiration through embroideries and prints on femme silhouettes.

  • Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found
    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had
    to tell someone!
