COPIA was born in Dubai as a communication and luxury lifestyle management company working with brands in the fashion, lifestyle and luxury sectors. The founders of COPIA, Rania El Sadek and Serra Kirdar, choose brands exclusively for the Middle Eastern market and constantly develop growth strategies to effectively build and expand, capturing the essence of the brand while bearing in mind the local market trends. The premium brand earned its reputation for being a sensational wonder with its distinctive services and brand prodigies. Luxury brands and powerful names from New York and beyond were brought to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
