(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 08, 2013 ) San Clemente, CA -- While a business centered around solely gift-wrapping doesnÂ’t sound like it would fare well on the busy streets and competitive markets of Dubai, Aysha has been able to expand Wrapt into five locations and hire 26 staff. Last month, Wrapt earned Dh2 million from just two of the stores, making it possible for the Emirati mother of three to plan to open another business in Oman later this year.
Ms. Al Muhairi says she wanted a career in art, not necessarily gift wrapping, but knew she needed a business on the side to help bring in money for her family. SheÂ’s been an artist since she was a young girl, but never had any professional training. In 2009, she got up the courage to borrow a microloan and start her business on a small street in Dubai.
In 2010, Ms. Al Muhairi began taking wedding orders and later that year started taking custom orders for individuals. Orders range from 1,000 to 2,000 pieces, and 80 percent of her business comes from individual orders. The entrepreneur has contracts with 235 factories that range 17 countries that manufacture the paper, beads, crystals, fabric and other materials she uses for her work.
Wrapping prices vary for Ms. MuhairiÂ’s business, from simple Dh5 ribbon to a Barbie gift topper that costs over Dh 200. Reams of tissue paper form intricate layers down the dollÂ’s gown and then sits atop a box or other gift. She travels extensively, but still has time for her three children, now in their tween years attending school full time.
