About Us
WE ARE MEHDI STORE
We are the leading trademark in premium textiles in the Sultante of Oman. From a humble shop in the dark alleys of Matrah's "Al Dhalam Souq", Hajj Mehdi Jawad Al Lawati started his journey in the textile business in 1948. He started by importing various luxury textiles from around the world, particularly from India, China, Japan and Europe. Soon after, Mehdi Store became and still is a household item across Oman with the name Mehdi being synonymous with textiles. Over generations, joyous memories have been associated with Mehdi Store. From the excitement of back to school preparations, to the cheerful preparations of weddings, eids and other festivities. Mehdi Store has accompanied its customers and shared with them their most memorable occassions.
OUR IDENTITY
Our visual identity is inspired from the beauty and timelessness of the Omani architecture present in the city of Matrah, and infused with the intricate embroidery of the local "braism" dresses.
UNIQUENESS ACROSS GENERATIONS
Our uniqueness is derived from our Omani identity. We take pride in offering fabrics that reflect the rich heritage and fascinating diversity of the local culture within Oman. Our products include the versatile fabrics of local menswear "dishdasha" , the colorful and opulent fabrics of local womenswear "braism" and the all-round fabrics of school and other uniforms. Mehdi Store is to many the ideal destination for the quality and uncompromising service it offers.
A LEGACY
Since inception, we have been at the forefront of the textile business in Oman. From the international market to Matrah's port, and finally, to the local market.
The first Mehdi Store opens in Matrah
Souq, with textiles imported from
Indian and Singapore.
Mehdi Store begins directly importing
textiles from China, which at the time
was considered a leading exporter of
