Who Are U?
We understand that being a woman in Cairo can be tasking. From taking care of ourselves, our jobs, our social life, and our family — our lives tend to a demanding routine with only very little time reserved for traffic jams. Accommodating the meticulous yet integral aspect of comfort, style and versatility adds another layer of mental taxation. Whether you’re a rapid multitasker or a chilled out individual, we all strive to be happy and comfortable throughout our day. When we got together as a family, we asked ourselves how can we serve every woman in Egypt no matter where she is and what she wants to do? U Athleisure comes from empowering Egyptian women of all diversities to achieve their goals without scrummaging through expensive foreign brands, trying to find the right fit for the right occasion. We’re all about convenience. One hundred percent Egyptian, and one hundred percent made for U: for your every need, every task, everyday and everywhere.

Our Team:
What happens when you put two engineers, a personal trainer/operations manager, a journalist, and a marketing professional together? You get U Athleisure. We are a family business run by four siblings and our sister-in-law with the help of our decades-long run in the fabric and textile industry. We all lead completely separate lives, but with a common love for fitness, comfort, and fashion. Our products reflect our diversity, with many of them made to be worn in at least two different ways, for several different looks, fit for all occasions.
