Maeya, the UAE-born luxury activewear brand founded by Somaiah Al Dabbagh, has launched its most striking collection yet, Black & Rouge, a capsule edit designed for women who want to move with confidence, comfort, and understated sophistication.
The brand has elevated aesthetics with technical precision with the Black & Rouge collection as Maeya’s answer to the modern woman’s demand for versatility – activewear that transitions effortlessly from movement to mindfulness, gym to gallery, pilates to coffee.
Founded by female athlete-turned-entrepreneur Somaiah Al Dabbagh, Maeya was built on a simple philosophy: that performance wear should empower without compromising beauty. Designed in Dubai and developed under Somaiah’s direction, every piece in the new capsule combines sculpting fits, high-performance materials, and timeless minimalism.
“Black and rouge are two colours that define strength and sensuality,” Somaiah shares. “This collection celebrates women who do it all — who show up, move, and live fully, without needing to change who they are to fit a moment.”
The capsule includes six essential pieces designed for all-day wear:
- Lisse Legging Rouge (AED 295) — A statement legging in bold rouge red, offering sculpted form, high-rise waistband, and seamless comfort in Maeya’s signature ultra-soft fabric.
- Lisse Top Rouge (AED 220) — A matching top with built-in support and flattering V-neckline, ideal for workouts or everyday layering.
- Lisse Legging Black (AED 295) — Sleek, high-performance leggings in timeless black, balancing compression and ease for movement that feels fluid yet supported.
- Lisse Top Black (AED 220) — A minimalist top with second-skin softness, designed to complement both active and casual wardrobes.
- Esmè Bra Black (AED 220) — A mid-impact sports bra that blends beauty and utility, featuring wide straps and breathable, ultra-soft fabric for studio-to-street comfort.
- Gia Crop Black (AED 195) — A light-support crop with stitched padding, delicate straps, and a refined silhouette that works perfectly solo or layered.
Together, the pieces create a modular wardrobe, a system of staples that can be mixed, matched, and restyled to suit every rhythm of the day.
The Black & Rouge collection continues Maeya’s mission to design inclusive, high-performance activewear that merges form, function, and feeling. Each garment embodies the brand’s signature balance of technical innovation and feminine elegance – breathable, durable, and impossibly soft against the skin.
This launch follows the debut of Maeya’s Nautica Collection, a sleek edit of navy and white essentials inspired by coastal calm and timeless minimalism. Both lines reflect Somaiah’s creative direction: to build a lifestyle brand rooted in self-expression and confidence.
