a house of beginnings.
mammisi makes clothes for the first six years, in Cairo, out of Egyptian cotton and nothing else. Rooted in heritage, made for childhood.
how a piece gets made.
Long-staple Egyptian cotton, pre-washed before it is cut. Cotton thread through every seam. Cut and sewn in Cairo, in the sizes a child actually passes through — twelve months to six years, each one with a year of growing room built in.
what we will not do
- No polyester, no synthetic fibre.
- No tight cuts that are finished in a month.
- No borrowed ornament from the antiquities.
- No imagery that makes a child look older than they are.
four hands, four steps, one shirt.
the cotton
Long-staple Egyptian cotton, bought as raw fibre and checked by hand for a soft, even staple.
the cut
Patterns drawn a full size generous, so a growing body is never held in at the shoulder.
the sewing
Flat seams where skin sits, cotton thread throughout — no plastic filament anywhere in the garment.
the finish
Pre-washed, pressed and folded in Cairo. The first wear already feels like the tenth.
you can see the weave. that is the point.
100% Egyptian cotton, long-staple and pre-washed. No polyester blend, no plastic thread, no coating over the weave.
cotton, and nothing else
No polyester, no synthetic fibre, nothing blended in. Long-staple Egyptian cotton, start to finish.
washes a hundred times
Pre-washed and colour-stable. Wash at 30°, hang in shade, it comes back the same.
made to be handed down
Reinforced seams and a size of growing room, so the piece survives to the next child.
