About QADIM
QADIM is shaped by the things that remain with us — inherited symbols, familiar forms and the stories carried quietly across generations. We take those references and rework them into clothing made to be worn today.
Things from the past, still alive
QADIM means “old” — but not old as in finished. Old as in enduring: the marks, motifs and meanings that outlast the moment they were made in. We look to Egyptian and wider Middle Eastern visual memory — engravings, emblems and symbols — and give them a place in a modern wardrobe rather than a display case.
Archive Graphics
Archive Graphics is QADIM’s own artwork. Each tee carries a single symbol drawn from heritage — the engraving (Naqsh), the noble horse (Al Asil), the arrow (Sahm), the stamp, the blade, the journey, the eagles — printed front and back and left to speak plainly. Pieces of visual memory you can wear every day.
ATHAR
ATHAR — a trace, a mark left behind — is the apparel side of QADIM: relaxed, warm-weather essentials with an easy line and a soft drape. Shirts, a knit polo, trousers and shorts made to be lived in, worn open at the collar and returned to season after season.
What we hold to
- Memory over trend — references that mean something, not motifs chosen at random.
- Restraint — one idea, clearly made, rather than noise.
- Honesty — real products, real photography, and only claims we can stand behind.
