Launched at the beginning of the year, Espand by Maz is a brand that pays homage to the culture of Afghanistan.

With materials bought from Afghanistan and then sewn in the UAE, the brand has had a great response so far, with it being sold not just in the region, but also in Austria, Australia, Canada, and the UK. While it has an assortment of jackets, abayas, and bags to showcase, we have our eye on the mirrored rainbow clutch.
