Maison Fusion offers mainly hand-made treasures from all over the world: gifts, accent furniture, niche perfumes, jewelry and scented candles, as well as Eastern sweets.

Every piece has been carefully chosen by the owner, Reem Owais, who had the chance to travel to exotic places where she collected these special products. This shop is a house of tales, where objects tell stories about those who crafted them, their traditions and cultures. They collaborate with organizations all over the world which assist rural women in generating income. This improves the standard of living not only for themselves but for their dependents and their communities as well.
