Karim Kozman

is the third generation to his family business, which started as a small wholesale fabric trading in 1948 downtown El Azhar.

Now the family owns a group of textile manufacturing mills in 10th of Ramdan City since 1996; and it is considered one of the top home textiles groups in the field under the name of Kozman Textile group.Since Kozman graduated from the faculty of engineering his passion was to launch their own retail fabric brand which then took place in 2010 under SEDA Fabrics &Curtains.

The aim was to develop a fabric retail chain dedicated to offer the most high quality fabrics to help clients to make their homes’ look elegant, yet with affordable prices since it is locally produced. Not only was his vision limited to launching a retail chain, but also to nurture and develop the fabric design process.

As a member of the Textile Export Council (TEC) kozman was able to be exposed to the international arena and closely monitor the fabric design processes from different perspectives and cultures. Since then he started to encourage and collaborate with designers from different areas to develop and launch their own collections under the Egyptian brand textile brand SEDA.

Helping them in choosing materials, developing mood boards and finally production became the normal process he is repeating every season following European trends and fashion lines.
