What is OVAL?
Oval is a Gulf-born luxury streetwear brand built on one core belief: success is not a straight line, but endless possibilities of tryin g new stuff.
Our designs blend premium quality with a bold, modern identity that reflects the mindset of our generation — confident, resilient, and always evolving.
Every piece we create carries the message of endless possibilities: no matter how the path twists, you can always shape your own direction.
Oval isn’t just clothing. It’s a statement, a mindset, and a journey.
Our Story
Oval started as a spark in 2021. Back then, I was deep into clothing and design, and the idea hit me: why not merge both into one concept and build something that actually represents the way I see creativity and style?
So I took my time. I built the brand step by step, learned the process from zero, and even got support from Ahmed Ismail (owner of Slook), who helped me understand the industry and sharpen my direction.
On February 28, I launched the first drop completely on my own. It did well at the beginning, but with university, work, and life stress piling up, I had to hit pause and focus on other priorities. The idea never left — it just waited for the right moment.
By April 20, that moment came. I realized the brand could grow bigger if I brought in the right person, so I introduced Hamed as a partner. At that time, he had his own projects, but I knew his skillset would complete mine.
I bring the design vision, creative direction, brand communication, and manufacturing management — the side that deals with ideas, production, and representing the brand in events.
Hamed brings the tech, the structure, the patience, and the legal/business side. He builds the website, handles the system and tech challenges, and deals with the paperwork that keeps the brand stable and official.
That balance is what made Oval stronger.
After partnering up, we officially registered the company and started selling our products across the GCC. Step by step, the brand evolved from a personal idea into a growing project built by two people who actually complement each other — one focused on creativity, one focused on execution, both aligned on the same vision.
This is how Oval began. And this is just the beginning.
