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.
