The Light of Beirut

A tribute to our dear Beirut.

To its people, its streets, its houses, its life,

its beauty, its heritage, its resilience, its energy,

its light, its hope.

Vanina, Beirut, November 2020

A capsule collection handcrafted with the glass of Vanina’s atelier, shattered by the 4th of August explosion.

The designs are inspired by the city’s distinctive fabric: its old houses, its pitched roofs, its balconies, its stairs, its arches, and its many hidden gems. The line celebrates the architectural characteristics of the city by embracing its traditional features, its art-deco details and its beautiful eroding textures.

The collection proposes a series of seven bags, each reminiscing of a cherished element of the city.

Where there is light

there is hope.
