Socks Apart
We don’t believe in logic. We can hardly follow the rules. We are even bad in math (you might get a ridiculous discount). We try, we fail, we laugh, we try again, blessed if we succeed, in that order. You are not the only ones laughing at us, we are laughing at ourselves too. Contrary to what we’ve been taught, we consider these our strengths. Flying kick, sir.
Feel Good Tea Co.
Mohammad Alhawari founded The Feel Good Tea Company in Dubai in September 2019 by pure coincidence. Depression hit him hard after losing his executive job in the corporate world. After months of therapy, and of course binging on Netflix while snuggling under a blanket sipping on a warm mug of tea, he realised how much joy that freshly brewed tea made him feel. Be it a morning cup, a midday pick me up or an inspirational brew, tea brings us a profound healing, comfort and warmth. And so a light bulb struck! After a deep dive into the industry, he was shocked to learn about all the health benefits that came from teas and more specifically Chinese herbal teas. And so he began his journey to travel the world to find best feel-good ingredients blended in cup. His favourite tea, Mango Cranberry Fruit Punch tea brewed using the Feel Good Tea Monroe Glass Cup infuser, yum! 🙂
Fringe Society
Fringe Society is about creating a home, wherever you may be. As expats we often find ourselves living on ‘the fringe’ of societies around the world. Immersed in different cultures and beliefs, day-to-day life can be unpredictable and challenging, which is why our home becomes our haven.
Drawing on my love of natural materials, textures and tones, I find inspiration in the contrasts of my surroundings: raw & luxe | natural & manmade | bold & subtle.

At Wild Wood our mission is to combine the elements of nature with excellent design and a touch of craftsmanship. Each of our sunglasses include high quality polarised lenses offering top class protection, fused with a natural wood frame, making for a truly unique product.
Our products are all eco-friendly with the full range being handmade from reclaimed wood. We’re constantly trying to drive environmental awareness and considering this we have teamed up with The Nature Conservancy by planting one tree through their ‘Plant a Billion’ campaign for every product we sell. 1 sale = 1 planted tree 🙂
Mai Dubai
Mai Dubai as a company was established in December 2012, but construction only started in June 2013 and the facility was completed in a matter of 11 months. After the successful commissioning of our machines, our sales team went to market in March 2014. We realised early on that the brand represents Dubai, a global brand which stands for high quality, high standards and a grand consumer experience, so there is no compromise when it came to our effort and investment towards building a best-in-class company. In terms of our name, we needed something different so Mai is the spoken way of saying water in Arabic and In English when someone hears Mai Dubai they think “my Dubai” so it becomes very easy to remember either way.
After over four years since the launch of Mai Dubai, it has become one of the leading bottled drinking water companies in the UAE, and certainly a highly popular brand. Today Mai Dubai is a household name not only in the UAE but in several markets around the world.

Lokal of the month
Mleiha
Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.
The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
