Concept stores have become a common sight during the Jeddah and Riyadh seasons, with several malls also hosting them to support local businesses.

The WE CRE8 concept store, which was founded in 2019, has attracted a lot of attention for its presence in the seasons and its commitment to advancing Saudi fashion.

“WE CRE8 is a department store for local designers. It is a place to share passions for talent, art, and fashion, and what makes WE CRE8 different is that we believe in empowering local designers,” Nofa Alhazzani, WE CRE8 marketing and social media senior specialist, told Arab News.

“The sole purpose of WE CRE8 is to help local brands grow their businesses by providing them with stores in premium locations, a world-class sales team, an online platform to reach the world, marketing and photography services, a customer service team, logistics management solutions, and most importantly, the love and care for their brands.”

WE CRE8 offers a space for any local business, whether they are in jewelry, fashion, perfumes, accessories, and plenty of other products. Its purpose is to take local Saudi style to new levels.

The store participated and opened its doors to visitors in Riyadh Season 2021 and Jeddah Season 2022, and will be present in future editions of the festivals.

What makes WE CRE8 unique is the interior design of the space that displays products in a fashionable way and puts a spotlight on the pieces.

“The visitors were impressed by the level of work we provide for local designers, we believe in what those designers have to offer, and we want to show this to the world,” Alhazzani added.

WE CRE8 plans to open more than 10 stores around the Kingdom.

“We currently have five stores, four in Riyadh and one in Jeddah, with an expansion plan of 10 stores by the end of 2023 to cover all Saudi Arabia, with more stores planned in Riyadh, Alkhobar, AlUla, NEOM and more.”
