Dareen Hakim may be a newcomer in the bag world but it is obvious she is an old soul. Others put their heart on their sleeve, she has put hers on her clutch. These amazing clutches have messages of love, laughter, happiness and strength boldly engraved in Arabic on plaques. No, they are not subtle and nor should they be. I love the messages but I love the striking fashion statement they make even more! A clutch with an oversize plaque could go terribly wrong but on a simple shape and the soft satin finish of brass, it just perfectly hits the spot. They come in selected colors and leather finishes, and with each you can choose the message your heart desires, or perhaps, in need of. The price is also right, at $295 it is a bargain to have style, inspiration and functional all in one! I’m getting mine in Antique lambskin with the message “Live and Laugh”, because when it comes right down to it, that’s all we have. Available at Dareen Hakim online.
Gorgeous! I agree — if they had tried to add any more design to this, the medallion would be too much. But as the sole point of interest on the bag, it works really well.
What a aimple and beautiful clutch. Definitely a designer to watch.
Love these! What a fresh take on a critical accessory that has become so boring and under-thought. Hakim is combining a lovely, sleek design with the ability to make a statement–to the world and to yourself. And there are several different inscriptions options on the website. SO clever.
this is what I call an amazing clutch! crazy about it! good job Kelly for posting this article!
Love it. Sleek design, go-anywhere shape and size. Coveting the Onyx croc for day or night.
I really like this clutch! It almost has a… celtic/xena warrior/LOTR feel to it, also. Which means it has achieved that “older” look, I suppose. Love the different messages/meanings, too!
Just ordered the Gold Dust bag with the silver plate with My Love engraved. Was looking for the perfect clutch for my wedding. This more than hit it out of the park, and I’ll be using it way after! Thanks for the post!!
this bag is a total rip-off
she stole the design exactly from another lebanese designer and it has been in the market there for at least 5 years!!!!
she is even using the same engravings…
this hakim woman is a fake, just like her bags
