There has been a lot of discussion about Maldivian brands, especially THOOL. What many people don’t see is the amount of work, time, and investment that goes into creating our products.
We don’t simply put our label on generic products. We invest heavily in product development—drawing inspiration from premium global brands, traveling to international trade fairs to identify the right manufacturing partners, creating custom molds, refining designs based on what Maldivians truly want, and investing significant amounts to bring those ideas to life.
Today, THOOL has sold more than 30,000 sunglasses and over 20,000 wallets. These numbers are only possible because thousands of Maldivians have placed their trust in our brand. We know the potential of THOOL, not only in the Maldives but also in international markets, which is why we recently met with Minister Mohamed Saeed to discuss opportunities for expanding our operations globally.
We confidently stand behind our products by offering warranties, including a 6-month warranty on many of our products and a 1-year warranty on our watches. Our products are manufactured in the same production facilities used by many internationally recognized brands, following the same standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Building a brand is not simply about owning a factory. It is about design, research, product development, quality control, customer service, and taking responsibility for what you sell. The Maldives currently does not have large-scale manufacturing facilities, so like many successful global brands, we manufacture with specialized production partners while focusing on creating products that meet our own standards.
This year, THOOL will also begin paying Business Profit Tax (BPT) to MIRA. Being liable to pay BPT reflects the scale and growth of our business and is another milestone that shows Maldivians have embraced THOOL as a genuine local brand.
Instead of devaluing Maldivian brands, let’s recognize the effort, investment, and vision behind them. Supporting local brands means supporting Maldivian entrepreneurs, creating opportunities, and proving that a brand born in the Maldives can compete on the global stage.

@myosldss@em_saeed Easy to mock the product. Much harder to build the brand. If manufacturing at scale was viable in the Maldives, they'd produce it here. The value isn't just the factory. it's the vision, branding, and years of hard work behind it.
Decided to try the Male Taxi line app today.
Requested for a car around 9:50 am, and I am surprised to say that the request was accepted within seconds.
Driver took a shortcut to reach the pick-up point.
The drive to the drop-off point was pleasant. The driver and I, we had a good conversation along the way.
The last time I was in a Male Taxi line car, the driver had to call the communication to confirm whether the payment went through or not. However with the application, the process was cut and the payment was accepted immediately.
Surprised to say that the service has improved compared to how the service began.
Those YES votes come with a price. Because they are the same people who endorsed Meekail as CP. Meekail will owe them. Anni owes no one. That's the difference. #VoteWise#Anni4CP
The #BoduBadhal had only just one MP, MP Sameer no 7 on the list below, on their side for them to convince not to vote. And guess what. They couldn’t even convince him not to vote.
#ithubaaru had Meekail and Fittey who voted No and Nazil and Ameen who abstained.
It’s definitely #Ithubaar for
MDP chairperson.
