Maison Rima — Atelier Couture, Tripoli — Bridal gowns to buy, rent, or customise.
Hand-crafted gowns, born in the Tripoli atelier. Buy, rent, or customise — every dress designed with you in mind.
A singular vision of the modern bride — clothed in the patience of hand-work, the precision of French couture, the silence of uncompromised beauty.
Les Heures Silencieuses
A meditation on stillness — thirty-seven gowns drawn from Rima Malaeb's private sketches, each executed in the Tripoli atelier by a single premier-main and her team of twelve.
