Tired of wearing the same plain Saudi thobe to work each day, he began to design his own thobes with the help of his wife and a tailor. By 2004, while still a partner at 3points, Naseem was designing and selling thobes out of his home for more than 100 customers. Annual sales that year reached SR75,000 ($19,900). By the time he co-founded Lomar the following year, sales had climbed to SR1.5 million ($399,000).
