What Georges Hobeika is known for
Georges Hobeika founded his Beirut atelier in 1995, with embroidery forming a central part of the house's couture work. Bridal collections and ready-to-wear sit alongside couture in its offer. Its Paris history includes a 2010 Rue Royale showroom and a newer showroom opened on Rue François 1er in 2022.
Georges Hobeika established his couture atelier in Beirut in 1995. Embroidery is central to the house's work, with motifs developed in its own ateliers alongside the construction and draping of the garments. The offer now includes bridal collections and ready-to-wear as well as couture.
The house presented its first haute couture collection in Paris in 2001. A Rue Royale showroom followed in 2010, and a newer Paris showroom on Rue François 1er opened in 2022. These dates mark different stages of its Paris presence, rather than interchangeable addresses for a single opening.
The official history also records expansion through a Harrods pop-up in December 2022 and a permanent concession the following month. For a purchase enquiry, distinguish an item from the ready-to-wear collection from a bridal or couture commission. The latter involves questions about the particular garment and the appointment process, rather than simply choosing from a displayed size. Use the house's current contact arrangements to establish which location handles the enquiry before planning a visit.
