We are a small team. Small in the way that means every person matters — that what you make is seen, that your craft is not anonymous. This is not for everyone. We hope it is for you.
Maison Rima has never been built to scale. Rima Malaeb founded this atelier in 2012 with a deliberate belief: that exceptional work requires time, and time requires a team that is chosen, not assembled.
We work at the pace of couture. Some days that means twelve hours over a single bodice. Others, a morning spent pulling thread and speaking with a bride about what she wants to feel in her gown. Both are equally important here.
If you are the kind of person who believes that a well-set seam is worth taking twice as long for — this is the right place.
Good work is not rushed. We expect calm under pressure and the capacity to begin again without resentment.
Details are not decoration. We care about the inside of a seam as much as the outside — because we know the bride will feel the difference.
You should be someone who holds a fabric and feels something — who can tell silk charmeuse from satin by touch and knows why it matters.
We are looking for a seamstress with genuine experience in hand-beading and fine bridal construction. You will work on bespoke commissions and alterations for rental gowns, alongside Rima and the rest of the team.
A combined administrative and client-facing role — you are the first voice a bride hears when she messages us, and the organised presence that keeps the atelier running between fittings. Fluency in Arabic and French is essential; English is a strong advantage.
A three-month immersion in bridal couture — pattern-cutting, toile construction, and fitting attendance. For students or recent graduates of fashion design programmes who want to learn what atelier work actually looks like, at a pace that allows you to absorb it.
If you feel the atelier is where you belong but none of these positions quite fits — write to us regardless. Tell us who you are, what you make, and what draws you here. We read everything that arrives. When the right moment comes, we will remember.
