The round included participation from 500 Global through its Sanabil Accelerator program, alongside a group of strategic angel investors from Saudi Arabia and international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2024 by Lia Mahjoub, Estelle Nasr, and Georgia Mahjoub, the platform is designed to tackle one of the luxury sector\u2019s key challenges: managing and monetizing excess inventory without compromising brand positioning or pricing strategies. Maison Safqa provides a controlled digital environment that allows brands to optimize unsold stock while maintaining full control over pricing, distribution, and brand perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the market opportunity, CEO and Co-founder Lia Mahjoub highlighted that the GCC luxury market reached $12.8 billion in 2025, yet brands continue to face difficulties in offloading excess inventory without impacting margins or brand equity. She emphasized that Maison Safqa was built to offer a balanced solution that protects both profitability and brand value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COO and Co-founder Estelle Nasr added that the platform delivers a seamless, end-to-end experience. While customers gain access to curated luxury selections, Maison Safqa manages the full operational cycle, including campaign setup, execution, and logistics. This approach reduces operational burden on brands and enables them to launch targeted, exclusive campaigns efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amel Dokhan, Managing Partner at 500 Global, noted that the firm\u2019s investment reflects confidence in the team\u2019s ability to localize a globally proven model, particularly given the platform\u2019s early success in securing partnerships with leading brands and retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its launch in May 2025, Maison Safqa has onboarded more than 50 global and regional brands, including Aigner, Lanvin, Liu Jo, Chantelle, Flabelus, and Qormuz. Within less than a year, the platform has achieved over 20x sales growth and established strategic partnerships with major Saudi entities such as Red Sea Global, Diriyah Company, and Cenomi Retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Maison Safqa aims to position itself as the leading platform for exclusive luxury deals in the region. The company is targeting over $2.5 million in sales within the next 18 months, expanding its brand portfolio to more than 100 partners, and introducing offline sales events in Riyadh and Jeddah, while continuing to enhance user experience and operational automation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maison Safqa, a platform specializing in exclusive deals for luxury brands, has successfully raised $620,000 in a pre-seed funding round.
