Homegrown Buddies is the Amicis collaboration platform — a considered space where homegrown brands, startups and thoughtfully built businesses in Dubai are invited into our creative world. It is less an application and more an introduction: a way for makers whose work shares our sensibility to begin a conversation with the studio behind Amicis.
Here is how it works. You submit your details through the joining form, telling us about your brand, your concept and the values that shape it. Our team then reviews each submission against our creative vision and our design-led approach to luxury — looking for the brands whose aesthetic, craftsmanship and intent sit naturally alongside our own. Where there is genuine alignment, we reach out to explore what a partnership could become.
What you can expect from us is a collaboration shaped with the same care we bring to every Amicis creation. We work closely with each partner to understand their story, their audience and the moments they want to create, then build the relationship around that. Some collaborations are intimate and product-led; others grow into larger, more visible projects across the Amicis community. The scope is open, but the standard is constant.
This is a partnership built on shared values rather than transactions. We favour quality over volume, originality over imitation, and ideas that bring something distinct to Dubai's premium lifestyle scene. If your brand is rooted in real craft and a clear point of view, you will find a studio that understands what it takes to build something with character.
The Amicis design process is collaborative throughout — from first consultation to finished concept. Whether your work touches gifting, events, the home or the wider world of occasions and celebrations, we approach each partnership as a bespoke project with its own rhythm and its own ambitions. Nothing is templated; everything is considered.
To begin, complete the joining form and share your details with our team. We will review your application and, where the fit feels right, open the door to a meaningful collaboration. Brands looking to extend their reach toward weddings, corporate moments or seasonal storytelling can also explore our wider corporate and partnership work as part of the conversation. Join us, and let us discover what we might create together.
