Gemaee Opens First Phygital, Authenticated Resale Store in Dubai

Gemaee Opens First Phygital, Authenticated Resale Store in Dubai
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


DUBAI, UAE – (ARAB NEWSWIRE) – Gemaee, a licensed retailer of pre-owned luxury goods, is opening a “phygital” store in Jumeirah’s First Avenue Mall. The move brings a new level of accountability to Dubai’s US$3.5 billion secondary luxury market, which has until now been characterized by a fragmented online landscape.

The store combines a physical boutique for in-person inspections with a digital platform that shows real-time inventory. It offers a structured alternative to the anonymous online marketplaces and social media resellers where buyers may have limited recourse.

“The demand for pre-owned luxury in the region has always been strong, but the market was missing a layer of trust and transparency,” says Safiya Mehbaliyeva, CEO of Gemaee. “We established Gemaee to provide that infrastructure. Our new store is more than just a retail space; it’s our commitment to accountability and a trusted experience for luxury buyers and sellers in the UAE.”

A Response to a Growing Need for Authenticity

The launch aligns with the UAE’s ongoing efforts to ensure market integrity. In 2024, authorities’ successful seizure of AED 8.7 billion worth of counterfeit goods highlighted the importance of authenticated retail for consumer protection. Gemaee addresses this by requiring a two-stage authentication for every item.

First, Entrupy’s AI-powered scanners analyze microscopic details to confirm an item is authentic. Then, high-value pieces, especially Hermès, are sent to Bababebi for a second, independent verification. Every product is sold with both certificates upon request. Gemaee also provides a lifetime authenticity guarantee and a 48-hour return policy.

This is particularly relevant as Gen Z and Millennial shoppers, who will make up 75% of luxury spending by 2025, are driving the resale market. In the UAE, 83% of young, wealthy individuals say they will spend more with brands that are socially and ethically responsible.

Phygital: The New Standard for GCC Retail

The Gemaee store is part of the “phygital” trend in GCC retail, a sector expected to hit US$390 billion by 2028. The model mixes the real-world experience of a store with the convenience of a digital platform, which is what local consumers now expect.

Inside the 1500 sq feet square-foot Jumeirah store, customers can see a selection of over 250 items from brands like Chanel, Rolex, and Patek Philippe. Digital displays show each product’s history and condition report, plus access to the full online inventory of over 1000 items (valued around 3,000,000 USD). Payment options from Tabby and Tamara are available both in the store and online.

“We saw a clear opportunity to bridge the gap between online convenience and the confidence of a physical inspection,” adds Safiya. “Our clients are discerning. They appreciate the ability to research online, but they also value the chance to see and feel an item before making a significant investment. We offer them the best of both worlds.”

A Market Coming of Age

The Middle East’s second-hand luxury market is growing at 11.6% a year, much faster than the primary luxury market. Gemaee has processed over 800 items since it was founded in 2023, and its revenue grew by 300% in the past year, mostly from sales of authenticated watches and handbags.

The company plans to use the Jumeirah store as a model for two more locations in the GCC by 2028.

About Gemaee

Gemaee is a licensed luxury resale platform in Dubai. We offer authenticated, pre-owned designer handbags, watches, and jewelry. Our process includes a dual-authentication system, a lifetime authenticity guarantee, and a seamless shopping experience between our physical store and online platform.

Gemaee تفتتح أول متجر فايجتال لإعادة البيع الموثوق في دبي

مقدمة

  • في دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة بتاريخ 11 فبراير 2026، أعلنت شركة Gemaee، وهي تاجر مرخص للسلع الفاخرة المستعملة، عن افتتاح متجر فايجتال في «مركز فيرست أفنيو» بجميرا.
  • هذه الخطوة تضيف مستوى جديدًا من المساءلة إلى سوق السلع الفاخرة الثانوية في دبي الذي يقدر بحوالي 3.5 مليار دولار أمريكي، إذ كان السوق حتى الآن مجزأً ويتعامل عبر المنصات الإلكترونية غير المنظمة.

مفهوم المتجر الفايجتال

  • المتجر يجمع بين بوتيك فعلي يسمح للمشترين بفحص المنتجات شخصيًا ومنصة رقمية تعرض المخزون الفعلي لحظة بلحظة.
  • هذا النموذج يوفر بديلاً منظمًا للأسواق المجهولة الهوية ومنصات التواصل الاجتماعي التي يبيع عبرها الأفراد منتجات فاخرة دون ضمانات واضحة للمشتري.
  • رئيسة الشركة صفية مهبايليفا تقول إن الطلب على السلع الفاخرة المستعملة كان دائمًا قويًا في المنطقة، لكن السوق كان يفتقر إلى مستويات الثقة والشفافية. وتشير إلى أن هدف Gemaee هو تقديم هذه البنية التحتية، وأن المتجر الجديد يمثل التزامًا بتجربة موثوقة للمشترين والبائعين.

الحاجة المتزايدة إلى الأصالة

  • إطلاق المتجر يتوافق مع جهود دولة الإمارات للحفاظ على نزاهة الأسواق. ففي عام 2024 صادرت السلطات ما قيمته 8.7 مليار درهم من السلع المقلدة، ما يبرز أهمية البيع المعتمد لحماية المستهلك.
  • ترد Gemaee على ذلك باعتماد نظام تحقق مزدوج لكل قطعة معروضة للبيع:
  • أولاً، تستخدم أجهزة مسح تعمل بالذكاء الاصطناعي من شركة «إنتروبي» لفحص التفاصيل الدقيقة والتأكد من أصالة القطعة.
  • ثانيًا، يتم إرسال القطع عالية القيمة، خصوصًا علامات «هيرميس»، إلى شركة «بابابيبي» للحصول على تحقق مستقل إضافي.
  • كل منتج يمكن بيعه مع شهادتي الأصالة عند الطلب، وتقدم الشركة ضمانًا مدى الحياة لأصالة المنتجات وسياسة إرجاع خلال 48 ساعة.
  • هذا النهج يستهدف جيل الشباب؛ إذ تشير الدراسات إلى أن جيل الألفية وزد، الذين سيشكلون 75 ٪ من الإنفاق على السلع الفاخرة بحلول 2025، يقودون سوق إعادة البيع. وفي الإمارات يقول 83 ٪ من الشباب الأثرياء إنهم يفضلون الشراء من العلامات التجارية التي تلتزم بمسؤولية اجتماعية وأخلاقية.

الفايجتال كمعيار جديد لتجارة التجزئة في الخليج

  • يعتبر متجر Gemaee جزءًا من توجه «الفايجتال» المتنامي في تجارة التجزئة بدول مجلس التعاون الخليجي، وهو سوق يُتوقع أن يصل حجمه إلى 390 مليار دولار أمريكي بحلول 2028.
  • يجمع هذا النموذج بين تجربة التسوق الواقعية وراحة المنصات الرقمية، وهو ما أصبح المستهلكون المحليون يتوقعونه من العلامات التجارية.
  • داخل المتجر الذي تبلغ مساحته 1500 قدم مربعة في جميرا يمكن للزبائن مشاهدة أكثر من 250 قطعة من علامات مثل «شانيل»، «رولكس» و«باتيك فيليب». تُعرض التقارير الخاصة بحالة كل قطعة وتاريخها على شاشات رقمية، مع إتاحة الوصول إلى المخزون الكامل عبر الإنترنت الذي يضم أكثر من 1000 قطعة تُقدر قيمتها بنحو 3 ملايين دولار أمريكي.
  • تتوفر خيارات الدفع من «تابي» و«تمارا» في المتجر وعلى المنصة الإلكترونية.
  • تؤكد الرئيسة التنفيذية أن هناك فرصة واضحة لردم الفجوة بين سهولة التسوق عبر الإنترنت وثقة الفحص الفعلي. العملاء يتصفون بالتمييز ويقدرون القدرة على البحث عبر الإنترنت، لكنهم أيضاً يريدون رؤية المنتج ولمسه قبل اتخاذ قرار شراء كبير، وهو ما يوفره المتجر.

سوق في طور النضج

  • ينمو سوق السلع الفاخرة المستعملة في الشرق الأوسط بنسبة 11.6 ٪ سنويًا، وهي وتيرة أسرع بكثير من سوق السلع الفاخرة الجديدة. وتعالج Gemaee أكثر من 800 قطعة منذ تأسيسها عام 2023.
  • ارتفعت إيرادات الشركة بنسبة 300 ٪ خلال العام الماضي، وكان الجزء الأكبر من المبيعات عبارة عن ساعات وحقائب يدوية موثقة الأصالة.
  • تخطط الشركة لاستخدام متجر جميرا كنموذج لافتتاح موقعين آخرين في دول الخليج بحلول 2028.

عن Gemaee

  • Gemaee منصة إعادة بيع فاخرة مرخصة في دبي، تقدم حقائب يد وساعات ومجوهرات مصممة مستعملة معتمدة.
  • يتضمن النظام عملية تحقق مزدوجة، وضمان أصالة مدى الحياة، وتجربة تسوق سلسة بين المتجر الفعلي والمنصة الرقمية.
