In this episode, we sit down with Yara Yassin, Co-Founder of Upfuse, one of Egypt’s boldest and most original purpose-driven fashion brands. Born from a graduation project, Upfuse started with a simple mission: to turn plastic waste into meaningful, functional fashion and became a platform for self-expression, empowerment, and local impact.Yara walks us through the brand’s early journey. From sourcing materials in Cairo’s streets, to crafting the first Upfuse bags from recycled plastic, to being told by factory owners that “this isn’t how things are done.” She shares how she and her co-founder navigated production challenges, financial roadblocks, and an ecosystem that simply wasn’t built to support businesses like theirs.We talk about why Upfuse refused to compromise on design, how they balanced art and ethics, and what it took to turn experimental prototypes into retail-ready products. Yara also opens up about building brand equity, resisting tokenism, and what kept her going when she almost gave up.Founded in 2013, Upfuse continues to grow as a brand built on values, proving that sustainability, storytelling, and real functionality can exist in the same product.في هذه الحلقة، نجلس مع يارا ياسين، الشريك المؤسس لبراند Upfuse، واحد من أكثر براندات الفاشن المحلية جرأة واختلافًا في مصر. بدأت Upfuse كمشروع تخرج بسيط بهدف تحويل المخلفات البلاستيكية لمنتجات عملية ومعبرة وتحولت مع الوقت لمنصة بتدافع عن الهوية والتمكين والتصميم الواعي.تحكي لنا يارا عن بدايات البراند. من تجميع الخامات من الشارع، لتصميم أول شنط معمولة من بلاستيك معاد تدويره، لحد ما تقابلوا بردود زي: “إحنا مش بنشتغل كده.” تكلمنا عن الصعوبات في الإنتاج، غياب التمويل، وسوق ماكنش جاهز لبراند بيحاول يعمل حاجة مختلفة فعلًا.ندردش كمان عن ليه Upfuse ما تنازلتش عن التصميم، وإزاي قدروا يوازنوا بين الجمال والأخلاق، وتحويل النماذج الأولية لمنتجات بتتباع. وتفتح يارا قلبها وتحكي عن لحظات كانت على وشك تستسلم فيها وليه ما عملتش كده.تأسست Upfuse في ٢٠١٣، ولسه بتكبر وتثبت إن التصميم الواعي مش بس ممكن لكنه مطلوب. براند بيعبر عن قيمة، مش بس منتج.Our Sponsors:Nawy: https://www.nawy.comAmenli: https://www.amenli.com
