Our Story
An archive built in Cairo.
Sold Attire began in Cairo in 2017.
We source pre-owned designer pieces, inspect them in Cairo and photograph the exact item offered for sale. Japan is a core source for the archive.
Each listing is a single piece. Availability and condition are shown on its product page.
The Guarantee
A lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Every piece, from a vintage scarf to a five-figure Hermès, goes through human-led, maison-specific review before it reaches the site.
If a piece is ever proven inauthentic, we refund in full. Read the full guarantee for the authentication evidence required.
The Founders
Siblings turned selectors.
Yahya and Aseel Karali: authenticators, archivists, and the people Harper's Bazaar Arabia named among the driving forces behind Cairo's growing vintage fashion scene. Daily News Egypt profiled their founding story in 2018, tracing Sold Attire from its Garden City beginnings and documenting how the siblings introduced vintage to local millennials. CairoScene later featured Sold Attire's commentary on the Japanese executive who won the original Jane Birkin Birkin at auction. Based in Cairo. Trusted across Egypt.
Sold Attire began as S(old), also written S_old, the name we carried when those profiles were written. Same founders, same archive, same standard.
Yahya began building the concept while studying in the UK, writing his thesis on the contrasting vintage scenes in London and Cairo. At the time, pre-owned luxury was largely stigmatised in Egypt. He returned with a clear vision. Sold Attire has been the result of that ever since.
We have been building this since 2017. Every piece we have ever sold has been chosen personally. That has not changed.
