Spanish Brand Flabelus Finds Its Footing in Cairo

Flabelus doesn’t overexplain itself. Founded in Spain in 2020, the footwear label has built its language through velvet Mary Janes, structured espadrilles, and silhouettes that feel borrowed from a bookshelf rather than a trend cycle. Each pair is named after a literary character. Each one feels like it belongs to someone with taste and time.

This year, that language reached Cairo. The brand hosted a dinner at Mazeej - intimate, precise, and curated with the right crowd in mind. The shoes sat alongside conversation, surrounded by people who read context as fluently as they do form.

In a video interview with SceneStyled, Pilar Oraá, the brand’s PR and communications lead, spoke about the brand’s evolving relationship with the Middle East and how Flabelus is looking to be part of the region’s long-term creative ecosystem.
