Ibtissam Gharib grew up among her mother's fabrics and sewing supplies, where her love for fashion was born.

While studying Communications & Public Relations, Ibtissam developed a side hustle as a young teenage entrepreneur in the bridal industry. This only further strengthened her fascination with wedding dresses. This fascination, combined with her passion for fashion and celebrating women, inspired her to launch her own fashion brand in 2017, now known as Galleria Gharib.

To further refine her design skills, Ibtissam studied fashion design in Paris, the fashion capital of the world. Seven years later, her designs range from timeless to modern and unique. Each dress is carefully crafted to capture the unique essence of each bride.

At Galleria Gharib, Ibtissam and her team are fully committed to making every bride feel beautiful, confident, and loved on their special day. They pride themselves on creating bespoke wedding dresses that perfectly reflect each woman's unique personality, bringing joy to the most important day of their lives.

With Galleria Gharib, you're not just investing in a dress, but in a unique experience you'll cherish for a lifetime.

While studying in Paris, Ibtissam Gharib fell in love with the magic of exclusive boutiques, where every customer feels special. Her time in France became a part of who she is. For years, offering such magical experiences to her own clients remained a dream.

But with determination and a deep-rooted passion, she worked tirelessly to make that dream a reality. And now, that dream has come to life on Frankrijklei, a majestic boutique housed in an authentic building.

Here, every bride receives the space, tranquility, and attention she deserves. No cold, artificial lighting, but high windows and ceilings that showcase each dress in its full splendor.

With a view of Antwerp's iconic monument, the National Bank, you'll experience a luxurious fitting experience where you won't feel like a customer, but like a princess.

Welcome to Galleria Gharib, where your fairy tale begins.
