Amongst Few

Three friends — a Briton, an Austrian, an Emirati — opened Amongst Few in 2014 to give Dubai its own streetwear language. The clothes thread the ghitra dot pattern and Arabic calligraphy into hoodies, tees and sneakers, but the brand has grown into a lifestyle ecosystem: flagship stores in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a barbershop, café, private studio and sneaker laundry. One of the pioneering UAE streetwear houses, and the one that proved Gulf streetwear could be local rather than imported.
