Our Story
Founded in 1985, Atelier Nanou was born from the vision of Lebanese designer Nanou Moawad, whose passion for craftsmanship and cultural heritage inspired the creation of a brand deeply rooted in artistry.
From the beginning, Atelier Nanou has combined traditional techniques with contemporary design, creating garments that celebrate individuality and elegance.
What started as a small atelier dedicated to handcrafted pieces has evolved into a brand recognized for its embroidered kaftans, refined dresses, artisanal accessories, and distinctive designs inspired by Oriental culture.
Today, Nanou remains personally involved in the creative process, ensuring that every piece reflects the brand’s values of authenticity, detail, and timeless beauty.
