Bound no.82
We are Amanda & Amanda (we know, it confuses us too!), two friends who bonded over a love for home décor, home styling and perhaps most importantly, a shared interest in the creative skills needed to produce outstanding hand-made items. We both have creative backgrounds; one of us in interior & retail styling and the other in textile design, both have a love for photography, so creating Bound No.82 came naturally to us. As mothers of three independent, fun-loving and confident daughters, it was important to us that the direction we took set an example to our girls and it makes us proud that the work we do contributes to the empowerment of women to earn an independent living and to celebrate their skilled heritage.

The Waterfront Market
The Waterfront Market is one of Dubai’s leading shopping destinations and a premier fresh food marketplace. Located in the heart of the city, the Waterfront Market represents a fusion of traditional Emirati souq and the multicultural spirit of the city in a modern purpose-built facility.
Twisted Roots
The trademarks of Twisted Roots are its focus on layering while still keeping true to an aesthetic that emphasises on clean lines, elegant silhouettes and luxurious fabrics. However, what really echoes through every collection is the fact that the pieces are so easy-to-wear and mix & match while still being modern and relevant. It’s all about impeccable tailoring while still keeping a modern, feminine edge.
TheKakaoGuy
The KakaoGuy is your go-to person for your chocolates and sweet fix. We are the first Local Nama Chocolate Shop in Dubai and the first to make burnt cheesecake in different flavours.
Camelicious
Over 35 years ago, the idea of a camel-milking facility was born at the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL) in Dubai. Research commenced on a small number of camels that were raised with the specific aim to obtain scientific proof of the outstanding health benefits of camel milk as an important part of the traditional Bedouin staple diet. The ultimate goal was to introduce camel milk to the markets and by doing so, to make it accessible to a large number of consumers.
Fatima Al Maazmi Designs
Started in 2011, by the Emirati Designer Fatima Al Maazmi, her designs feature a wide selection of stylish abayas from classic black abayas to contemporary chic with vivid colours and designs.
RAW
Sourcing premium green beans from around the world, we have selected the niche market looking for quality. It’s really important to us that our beans are ethically sourced and the farmers and their families growing our coffee are treated fairly and can make a sustainable living. Our beans are all organically certified, roasted in small batches, and available to sample from our warehouse roastery either as single origins or blends.
Why Go-Lokal?
We should support our local market (local products & local brands) by empowering people within the UAE to do business with local companies and local entrepreneurs that are based and operate from within the UAE.
By connecting the local community we aspire to support the local economy, making its unique brands better known, and create awareness for authentic tour experiences. Go-Lokal gives you access to all hidden gems the UAE has to offer.

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.
