What is made in Lebanon

The Beirut workshops make the pieces that carry the house embroidery. In Fall 2026 that means the Embroidered Top in Black and Silver, the Embroidered Halter Top in Black and Silver, the Embroidered Skirt in Black and Silver, the Embroidered Jacket in Eggnog and Silver and the Embroidered Cady Dress in Eggnog and Silver, all worked in crystals and beads. The cady gowns and kaftan in Tawny Port, such as the Cady Kaftan in Tawny Port, and the Violet Quartz chiffon are made there too.

What is made in Italy

The Italian pieces are the prints and the tailoring: the Flying Flower silk chiffon, including the Floral Printed Chiffon Long Dress in Flying Flower Sunburn and the Floral Printed Chiffon Blouse in Flying Flower Sunburn, the virgin wool pieces such as the Lace-Trimmed Wool Jacket in Eggnog and Black and the Wide-Leg Wool Trousers in Eggnog, and the lace-up cady, such as the Lace-Up Cady Jacket in Black.

Fall 2026 by country

Does it matter where it is made?

Both are serious places to make clothes. Beirut has the embroidery hands that built the house; Italy has the mills and the tailoring workshops. Choose by the piece, not the label: for crystal work, Beirut; for prints and wool, Italy. For the wider Lebanese scene, see Lebanese designers at Coveti and brands like Zuhair Murad.
