Case Study: Reinventing SheikhCurtain’s Legacy with Khaled Digital Solutions
Introduction
SheikhCurtain, Riyadh’s most trusted name in bespoke curtains and artisanal sofa manufacturing, partnered with Khaled Digital Solutions to modernize its brand and amplify its digital reach. Faced with rising competition from global luxury brands and a disconnect with younger, tech-savvy clients, SheikhCurtain sought to blend its heritage of craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital strategies. The collaboration led to a 60% increase in online inquiries, a 50% rise in B2B partnerships, and a strengthened reputation as Riyadh’s go-to luxury furnishings expert within eight months.
Background
SheikhCurtain has been a symbol of opulence in Saudi Arabia since 2010, crafting custom curtains and hand-stitched sofas for royal residences, luxury hotels, and elite real estate projects. Known for using rare materials like Omani frankincense-infused fabrics and gold-thread embroidery, the brand’s offline prestige struggled to translate into digital engagement.
Khaled Digital Solutions, a Riyadh-based design and digital agency, was tasked with repositioning SheikhCurtain as a modern luxury brand while honoring its artisanal roots.
Challenges

Dated Brand Identity: A traditional logo and outdated visuals failed to appeal to younger luxury buyers.
-

-
Global Competition: Brands like Fendi Casa and Roche Bobois dominated search visibility for “luxury sofas Riyadh.”
