In this episode, our founder Nour Hassan speaks to Feras Abushaar, co-founder of the online luxury e-commerce platform
Thahab.
Co-founded with his sister, Sarah Abushaar, Thahab is one of the first e-commerce marketplace coming from the MENA region to go global and is part of the next wave of e-commerce players like
GOAT, and
Stadium Goods. During his time in San Francisco, Abushaar was influenced and inspired by the tech-driven innovations that were disrupting industries led by the Bay area’s start-ups. He returned to the MENA region with the hopes of leading the digital transformation of the economy. With the lack of tech-driven infrastructure for global commerce, he and his sister built a much-needed bridge between retailers' and consumers' growing demands. Hosting 40,000 live products and retail stores spanning MENA, Asia, North America, and Europe, THAHAB has established itself as the go-to digital destination for the most sought after drops of global brands sold out everywhere, shipping highly coveted luxury and sustainable pieces for women, men, children, home and beauty to over 190 countries. From a $150 pair of the latest
New Balance sneakers to $50,000 limited edition bags and watches, THAHAB delivers on their commitment to bring their customers the most in-demand goods at some of the best prices globally and with record delivery times out of the region, for the first time.
While many brick-and-mortar stores suffered during Covid-19, Thahab provided businesses with the digital backbone, allowing them to power online and empower them to digitally transform, compete and grow. It has established itself as the go-to destination for sought-after brands making it easier for consumers to enjoy. Driven by a vision to build the new economy online, THAHAB is poised to continue its rapid expansion at the forefront and is determined to redefine what the digital economy will look like in the post-pandemic world.
