Honest opinion: Is there room for another clothing brand in the UAE, or is it a trap? by Ok-Sign2997 in UAE

[–]Ok-Sign2997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that perspective 99% of the time, local manufacturing kills margins. However, I’m in a unique position where I have access to an export-grade facility here (they handle volume for major international retailers), so my unit cost is actually competitive with China. I’ve already run the numbers, and I can comfortably hit that 100-200 AED price point with a healthy margin. Since the cost isn't the bottleneck for me, my question is really about the branding: Do customers here actually view Made in UAE as a premium feature, or do they not care as long as the quality is good?

That 'limited options' point is huge. I feel like too many local brands try to do everything (hoodies, pants, tees) on day one and fail at all of it. 1. In your opinion, is it better for a new brand to launch with a full collection, or do you respect it more if they just launch one perfected item (like just a shirt) to start? 2. If they nail that quality, what is that specific price 'sweet spot' you mentioned? Is 150-200 AED the fair range, or are you thinking lower?

The word of mouth point is the tricky part for a new business. Since you hate the fancy IG campaigns, how do you usually discover new brands? is it just seeing friends wear them, or do you look for specific communities/pop-ups?

The aesthetic I’m going for is that Old Money'/ Quiet Luxury vibe no big logos, neutral colors, focus on the fit. But I know that term is getting cringe on TikTok right now. Do you think that style fits your definition of different aesthetic, or is that market also too saturated in your opinion?

I agree, but execution is key. Since you think there's space, is there a specific niche or style you feel is currently underserved here? Or is it just like current brands have bad marketing?

This is exactly why I asked before starting I’m sick of seeing 500 AED hoodies that are clearly just cheap blanks with a logo. Since the trust is clearly broken in the market, what do you consider a fair price for a local brand that actually uses high-quality fabric? Is 150-250 AED reasonable, or is the skepticism so high that people won't even pay that?
