Kenz
Online lingerie and shapewear retailer curating international brands for Middle Eastern women.
Kenz (meaning 'treasure' in Arabic) is an e-commerce platform selling bras, lingerie, shapewear and sleepwear curated from international brands, aimed at women across the Middle East who found limited discreet, well-fitting options locally. The company was founded in 2015 in Ramallah, Palestine by Nicola Cuoco (Isabel) and Christina Ganim, and built what it describes as the first Arabic-language bra and shapewear size calculator to address widespread mis-sizing among regional shoppers. Kenz raised a six-figure pre-Series A round in 2021 led by Ibtikar Fund with participation from the Arab Palestine Investment Company (APIC) and angel investors. More recent public listings (LinkedIn, Facebook) show the company's operations also based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, suggesting the business has expanded its footprint into the Gulf market since its Palestinian founding.
