If I were starting a DTC fashion brand in 2025, this is not the path I’d take.
But Kareem Elgendy did—and built Veiled into an 8-figure powerhouse.
And here’s the wild part...
They’ve scaled profitably with: – A tiny TAM – Zero TikTok dependency – 11x MER on Meta
In this episode of Secrets to Scaling Your Ecommerce Brand, I sit down with Kareem, CEO at Veiled, the world’s largest standalone modest fashion brand.
We go deep on:
- Why focusing on warm audiences is Veiled’s unfair advantage – Think 80% of spend on Meta – Heavy whitelisting + real-time creative rotation – Data-driven merchandising that actually improves MER
- How they pull off pop-ups that draw 16,000+ people in a weekend – You read that right. Sixteen thousand. – Their approach to community-building is what most brands get wildly wrong
- What most brands miss on attribution & product-market fit – Especially fashion brands trying to scale too fast, too broad
This episode isn’t just about niche marketing—it’s a masterclass in disciplined growth strategy.
If you're an apparel brand trying to crack profitable scale...
If you’ve ever wondered if Meta is still worth it...
If TikTok isn’t working for you...
👉 This is the episode to binge.
