Our Story
For over 20 years, Orient 499 has worked hand in hand with artisans across Lebanon to create a lifestyle brand defined by ethical fashion and thoughtful design. From silk dresses and cashmere abayas to hand-carved furniture and hammered copper tableware, each piece reflects a dialogue between craftsmanship and modern living. With showrooms in Beirut and Dubai and an online store shipping worldwide, Orient 499 shares the creativity of local craftsmen and women with a global audience: creating handmade pieces with purpose, care, and conscience.
About the founders
Orient 499’s story is about the union of two worlds through Aida and Frank, whose shared vision brought to life a brand that celebrates Levantine craftsmanship and bridges cultures across borders. With over 30 years in fashion and artisanal craft, Aida draws from the region’s rich heritage to create pieces rooted in authenticity and handmade beauty. Frank, raised among antiques and shaped by global travels, brings a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and artistic expression. Together, Aida and Frank’s creative duo is the essence of Orient 499: a fusion of East and West, tradition and modernity, heart and vision. Orient 499 isn’t just a gallery; it’s a celebration of their shared love for beauty, craftsmanship, authenticity and emotion through design.
