From Beirut, with love. Vanina is a brand that believes in craftsmanship, luxury and style. Designing collections for those who dare to experiment, the brand is well-known for their chic accessories, beautiful jewellery and experimental apparel.
The Lebanese brand tackles important social and environmental issues through the lens of fashion. Keeping sustainability in mind, Vanina makes a stand showing by way of their design concepts. Their collections promote local community development by offering them craftsmanship opportunities and spreading environmental awareness.
A Collection That Goes Beyond Style
Vanina started off as a jewellery label and soon evolved to include accessories and apparel. Noticeably, their designs play on proportions and geometric with a large focus on shapes and form.
The brand is known for their contemporary style, creative exploration and feminine aesthetic. So don’t be surprised to see conceptual, eccentric, avante garde pieces that are feminine, elegant and unique.
Their collection includes exaggerated silhouettes, defining forms, unusual cuttings, 3-dimensionality, asymmetry, pattern play and embellishments–all of which lead to designs that are aesthetically pleasing and artistically stimulating.
Vanina’s motto is ‘never fully dressed without a smile.’ They celebrate femininity in all forms through their use of luxurious textiles and materials, figure-flattering designs, free-thinking lifestyle and an overall beauty that’s hard to replicate.
Vanina values detailed and experimental craftsmanship, evident in their delicate yet bold products that are inspired by nature and art. Their dedication to workmanship and environmental issues along with their creativity sets this Beirut-based brand a cut above the rest. All their pieces are produced in the local workshops of the capital of Lebanon.
The Story of Vanina
'We see fashion as a tool that offers opportunities for social and environmental change.'
Childhood friends Tatiana Fayad and Joanne Hayek bonded over fashion while growing up. In 2007, the friends turned into business partners when they launched Vanina as a jewellery line.
Afterwards, the brand grew into a successful lifestyle label that proudly handcrafted products in Lebanon for the entire world.
Vanina collections go beyond aesthetics and style; they draw focus on the promotion of social and environmental development.
