Dareen Hakim

The Harvard Business School-educated Dareen Hakim turned her talents toward handbags after conquering Wall Street and the beauty industry. Each piece of her functional jewelry draws inspiration from the heady contrasts of modern Beiruit. Her classic shapes are embellished with calligraphic hardware that speaks to the wearer’s priorities, heritage and state of mind.
