Our Story

The story of Halfa and Koos begins in the heart of the Egyptian oasis, where two simple gifts of the land—the resilient halfa grass and flexible palm fronds, or koos—inspired a vision. This brand was born from an appreciation for the enduring craftsmanship of local artisans, weaving their heritage into every piece.

Our products are a bridge between the past and present, bringing the quiet soul of the oasis into your home. Imagine a space defined by the earthy texture of a hand-braided halfa rug, or the purposeful shape of a palm leaf basket. Each item carries the feeling of the sun-drenched desert, the scent of olive groves, and the joy of a life lived in harmony with nature. Halfa and Koos isn't just a brand; it's a feeling, a celebration of authenticity and the simple, enduring beauty found in the natural world.

Preparation

We hand-harvest sustainable halfa grass and palm fronds (koos) from the oasis. The materials are then carefully dried and prepared to ensure their quality and flexibility for weaving.

Artisanal Weaving

Skilled Egyptian artisans use traditional techniques to hand-braid, weave, and coil the fibers. Each product is shaped by hand, with no machines involved, making every piece unique.

Finishing with Care

The final products are carefully trimmed and finished, sometimes with added natural details like leather. We celebrate the small imperfections that are a hallmark of our authentic, handmade craftsmanship.
