DAR E E N HAK I M Dareen was born in Beirut and grew up enveloped in a culture vibrant with the ancient beauty and sensual poetry of Lebanese life. Influenced by Lebanon’s dynamic landscape, a magical swirl of archaeological ruins juxtaposed with gleaming glassy high-rises, Dareen became dually intrigued by the fluid mosaic of modern fashion set against the country’s historical backdrop. This contrast of old and new influences her still today, contributing to the mix of authenticity and modern elegance in her coveted designs. Sumptuous leathers, hand-engraved brass metalwork, dramatic hues – all form the basis of style behind each Dareen Hakim creation. Celebrating at once tradition and function, her collection enjoys a favored status among women inspired to carry a contagiously cool piece of art, one that instantly communicates both warmth and chic. The inscriptions on a Dareen Hakim bag reflect the designer’s fascination with the momentous spirit of her childhood. Within the turmoil of Lebanon’s earlier days, she saw people value life and cherish every day with a certain “joie de vivre.” This combined feeling of resilience, strength, happiness, love, laughter and appreciation of beauty in life’s simple pleasures left an impression she shares through the subtle scripted messages on her bags.
