The two charts don't rank the same way: the biggest catalogs sit mid-ladder, the premium player runs lean (444 pieces at a EGP 6,700 median), and the budget player is the smallest of all — curation at EGP 299.

What the numbers mean
01
Six real identities hidden behind one identical banner.
Craft, occasion, curation, try-on tech, export reach — this category has genuine stories. The uniform sale-first homepage buries all of them and makes six different brands interchangeable at first glance.
02
High tickets without payment flexibility.
Two-thirds of the category sells EGP 1,000+ medians without installments. The two brands offering Tamara and Sympl serve the exact hesitation everyone else leaves unanswered.
03
Arabic is a minority feature in an Arabic market.
Two of six storefronts support Arabic. For paid traffic, that's a conversion leak the ad account pays for on every Arabic-intent click.
Figures reflect each storefront as publicly displayed, March–April 2026. Prices in EGP. All brands reported neutrally.
