“A gown is not clothing. It is the memory of a day — made tangible.”
Thirteen years.
The atelier opens
Rima Malaeb opens the Maison in Beirut with a handful of seamstresses and a single sewing machine, taking private commissions from a small Azmi Street atelier.
First bridal collection
The Maison presents its first dedicated bridal collection — eighteen gowns shown privately to regional press and stylists.
Rent & customise
The signature service is formalised — every gown can be bought, rented, or customised, bringing couture within reach of a new generation of brides.
The new atelier
Maison Rima moves into its current flagship on Azmi Street, Azmi Street — a two-floor atelier with a private salon for appointments.
Les Heures Silencieuses
The FW26 collection — the Maison's most ambitious to date — is shown at the Tripoli atelier to an invited audience of thirty-four brides, press and friends of the house.
The hands that make the gown.
Broderie à la main
Every Maison Rima gown is hand-embroidered in the Tripoli atelier. Our embroiderers — some trained at the Lesage school in Paris, others by the masters of the Lebanese bridal tradition — work with seed pearls, glass beads, silver threads, and hand-cut sequins sourced from a single supplier in Bologna.
Dentelle de Calais-Caudry
Our lace is woven on 19th-century Leavers looms at the last working lace mill in Calais-Caudry, by craftsmen whose fathers wove for Balenciaga. One metre of lace requires three to five hours on the loom — a speed unchanged since 1884.
Tripoli · Azmi Street
The atelier is open by appointment. Rima welcomes every bride personally — for a fitting, a sketch, a conversation over tea.
