Valletta Handbag

Dara Hamarneh, a young designer, draws inspiration from her Middle Eastern upbringing and her mother's luxury collection, translating it into a modern brand. Launched at 23, her focus on 'clean and seasonless' silhouettes aligns with a 'slow fashion' ethos, emphasizing quality and sustainability.

Educated at Polimoda in Florence, Hamarneh blends influences from the Middle East, 90s minimalism, and 60s space age aesthetics. Inspired by designers like Issey Miyake and Pierre Cardin, she embraces a repeat product approach, emphasizing a modern vision rooted in quality, social responsibility, and consciousness.

Starting with two signature shapes, Valletta and Tube, her collection of luxury bags is elegant and functional, embodying timeless glamour. Hamarneh's brand reflects a commitment to the future of fashion, where each piece tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and a vision for a better, more sustainable luxury industry.
