The service features two catalogues — Bridal and Evening — each showcasing hand-embroidered fabrics and artisanal techniques. Clients can choose from a selection of materials, motifs, and embellishments, including intricate metalwork, Swarovski crystals, glass beading, bullion stitching, and brass coins.
“At some point, we realized that instead of telling one story, we could open the space for women to bring their own. That is where bespoke came in. It became more of a dialogue: less about designing for someone, and more about designing with her. She chooses what feels right to her, and we translate that through our craftsmanship into something that feels very personal,” the sisters told Arab News in a joint statement on why they decided to launch the service.
The pair will personally sketch and guide the design process of each creation, which will be completed with a custom monogram engraved inside.
