Noha - Founder of PatCh.BaGs

Since the age of 13, Noha has nurtured a passion for crafts . As a child, she started crocheting and created her first bags, which she sold online for nearly 10 years. Then came a new adventure: patchwork, a project she developed for 11 years. But faced with the rising price of raw materials and costs that had become too high, she had to stop this activity.

✨ Yet these experiences open unexpected doors for her. At her sister's urging, Noha enters a competition in Dubai, sending in a crocheted bag and a patchwork bedspread. Against all odds, she wins first prize: a trip to Japan to attend the Tokyo International Quilt Festival .

This stay marked a turning point: amazed by the fabrics and the machines, she returned to Egypt with her arms laden with unique materials and began to create new cotton rope bags , which sold immediately.

Today, Noha is alone behind PatCh.BaGs: she imagines, manufactures, photographs and promotes each creation in her workshop in Alexandria.

🌟 Her dream: to develop a big brand and her own website.

Her advice to those who want to get started:

“ Perseverance, rigor, and innovation . Don't be afraid to experiment. If one idea doesn't work, try another.”

🌸 Thanks to Niléa, Noha's bags travel beyond Alexandria, to meet new hands and new lives.
