About

"""Our partnership with FTE is something that’s very close to my heart. FTE supported me and stood up for our group through thick and thin. It trusted in my ability and helped us grow into what we are today.
It’s funny for me to see the designs I first came up with years ago. I feel that I have improved so much these last few years since we began working with FTE. I’m really proud of our work. Maybe I’ll soon become a famous brass designer in Cairo. That would be a dream come true."" Isaac Fahim Rubel is one of those artisans who have grown up with the love of crafts running through their veins.
Starting out as an apprentice of one of Cairo’s better-known masters, Sami Amin, he learned all he could about tanning leather and embossing brass early on. After spending 5 years in that workshop, he felt he could launch his own line of leather designs. Because of the seasonal nature of tanning leather, which could only be done during the cooler months, he needed to branch out and design brass jewelry as well, which allowed him to bring in an income to his family all year round. That’s when he launched Brass Group, and became capable of hiring 5 artisans.
