Meqnes has been featured in the February issue of British GQ

Dear Meqnes Family,

I hope 2022 has started off well for you, or at least that you’ve had some beautiful moments in these tumultuous times.

Here at Meqnes, we’re starting the year with some exciting news.

First, as the CEO and co-founder of Meqnes, I’ve been featured in the February issue of British GQ. This is an immense honour for me, especially because, since starting my career in style, I’ve dreamt of being in this iconic publication.



Part of our mission at Meqnes is to spotlight Africa, a rich continent full of creative and stylish individuals. So I was especially moved that fellow North African, Egyptian Premier League player Mo Salah, graces the cover.

An iconic publication, a celebrated public figure… Good things come in threes, and so, here’s one more:

GQ was especially full of praise for our Weekender Bag.

Our flagship product, the Meqnes Weekender is made of luxurious high quality calfskin, tanned using traditional Moroccan techniques.

With hand-stitched pockets for easy access to your most important accessories, and a surprisingly spacious interior, it’s the perfect companion for your short trips, letting you travel in comfort and, of course, style.

The Weekender will turn heads while letting you keep your feet on the ground and enjoy the journey.

The Weekender Bag holds an important place in our hearts, and the GQ profile reminded us that we’re not the only ones in love with it. And so, we’ve decided to continue making this previously retired favorite.

Weekender bags will be back in stock on our website in the coming months.

We’re happy to share all this joy and excitement with you, and we hope it’s brought some joy and excitement into your day, too.

Here’s hoping that pleasant surprises are just the beginning for 2022.

Yours in style,

Kamal & The Meqnes Team.
