Hiba Hisbian
Hiba Hisbini is a jewelry brand that represents the bond between a mother & daughter, translated into timeless pieces. Hiba launched the brand in 2007, when her daughter was only seven years old. Back then, local home-grown brands used to market & sell their products through exhibitions & pop-ups, as online shopping was not popular. Now, the brand is an ode to a mother-daughter bond. The duo works together on creating a beautiful synergy that has elevated the brand to new heights.
Karen Wazen
Karen Wazen was created by Lebanese-British entrepreneur and influencer Karen Wazen in 2018. The brand was created around Karen’s childhood insecurity about her eyes. Wearing sunglasses became a means for her to address this vulnerability. Over time, her appreciation for sunglasses grew, leading to the establishment of Karen Wazen Eyewear in 2018. The brand offers a range of trendy and futuristic sunglasses, with a focus on mood-boosting hues and stylish silhouettes, now also creating jewellery and accessories.
