Maison du Maillot is the biggest multi-brand e-commerce site in Bahrain. A joint project between Faezeh and her sister, Leila Siassi, it sought to provide a one-stop shop for contemporary warm weather clothing that is made available all-year round.
“Maison du Maillot means House of Swimwear in French,” explained Faezeh. “We saw this as a missing niche in the market. We want these clothes to be accessible to all.”
“Finding the opportunity to work with my sister on a project we are both passionate about,” this is what Faezeh answered when asked about the inspiration behind their e-commerce shop. “We truly believe that e-commerce and the tech sector in general has a home in Bahrain.”
“There were a lot of obstacles – from trying to register for a CR to finding suitable payment gateways,” narrated Faezeh. “We just face each hurdle as best we can, learn from it and keep moving forward.”
