The Story of Arabic Treasure, from the beginning.
Every great story begins with a dream, and Arabic Treasure’s story is no different. Our journey began with a profound love for Arab heritage, a deep-seated desire to empower and represent our people, and an unyielding commitment to uplift the oppressed. The seeds of Arabic Treasure were planted by Marwan Ibrahim, an Egyptian native whose love for his Arab roots runs as deep as the Nile itself. More than just a brand, Arabic Treasure is an expression of Marwan’s passion for Arab unity, heritage, and a sense of responsibility towards his brothers and sisters across the Middle East, especially the oppressed in Palestine.
A Dream Born in New York, Rooted in Arab Heritage
In the bustling heart of New York City, where cultures blend and dreams take flight, Marwan Ibrahim laid the foundation of Arabic Treasure. As an Egyptian living in the city that never sleeps, Marwan found himself increasingly yearning for a way to honor and preserve the rich traditions of the Arab world. His vision was clear: to create a brand that would celebrate Arab identity while supporting those who needed it most.
But more than a commercial venture, Marwan saw Arabic Treasure as a beacon of unity—a way for Arabs, whether they lived in the diaspora or in the Middle East, to proudly represent their heritage. He envisioned a space where each product told a story of resilience, strength, and pride—a story that every Arab could wear as a badge of honor.
A Mission Born Out of Love for Palestine
Marwan’s greatest motivation for founding Arabic Treasure was deeply personal. His heart bled for Palestine, a land and people facing years of injustice and oppression. From the outset, his mission was clear: Arabic Treasure would serve as a platform to support Palestinians and provide a voice for the voiceless. The brand's original purpose was to focus specifically on Palestine, creating products that allowed Palestinians and their supporters to represent themselves, their heritage, and their struggle. Marwan wanted his customers to wear these pieces as symbols of resistance, solidarity, and love.
In those early days, Marwan’s determination was fueled by a singular goal—to raise funds that could be donated directly to Palestinians in need. Through Arabic Treasure, Marwan aimed to channel the profits toward relief efforts, medical aid, and essential supplies for those suffering under occupation. It wasn’t just about selling accessories; it was about building a movement of solidarity and compassion for the Palestinian cause.
From Palestine to All Arabs: A United Vision
As Arabic Treasure began to take shape, Marwan recognized something essential: while Palestine was at the heart of his mission, his vision for unity extended far beyond one land. Arabs, as a collective people, share a common history, culture, and sense of identity. Whether they are from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, or Yemen, Arabs have always been a united people. The struggles of Palestinians are the struggles of all Arabs. In this unity, Marwan found a deeper purpose for Arabic Treasure.
Thus, the decision was made to expand the brand’s focus. Instead of naming it something like "Palestine Treasure," Marwan chose "Arabic Treasure" to reflect the shared heritage of all Arabs. He wanted the brand to be a celebration of Arab unity—a way for every Arab, regardless of their nationality, to feel a part of something bigger. Arabic Treasure would become a symbol of Arab pride, resilience, and solidarity. The brand now offers a variety of products that celebrate different aspects of Arab culture, ensuring that every piece carries with it a story, a history, and a message of unity.
A Brand With Heart and Purpose
From its inception, Arabic Treasure has been about more than just creating beautiful accessories. It is about representing a people, a culture, and a cause. With every keffiyeh-inspired bracelet, every Palestine Map necklace, and every piece of apparel, our customers are reminded of the strength and beauty of Arab heritage.
But beyond the products lies our greater mission: to give back to those in need. To this day, a significant portion of our profits is donated to Palestinian aid organizations, including Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and other humanitarian efforts. With each purchase, you are not only wearing a piece of Arab culture—you are directly contributing to the support and relief of our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
A Symbol of Arab Pride
At Arabic Treasure, we believe in the power of symbols. Our products are designed to be more than just fashion statements; they are symbols of resistance, resilience, and solidarity. Whether it’s the intricate design of the keffiyeh, a powerful symbol of Palestinian resistance, or the elegance of our jewelry, each piece represents the pride we feel for our Arab identity.
From New York to Palestine, and across every Arab nation, Arabic Treasure stands as a reminder that we are united in our history, our culture, and our shared values. We are proud of where we come from, and we are even prouder to share this pride with the world.
