Handbags are an important part of the wardrobe for Reem Salman. And quality as well as craftsmanship is of paramount importance to Salman. Her passion for excellent craftsmanship and love for Italian leather led her to launching her own label, Belquis, in 2014. A luxury handbags brand, Belquis celebrates creativity, craftsmanship and exceptional quality.

Salman, who was born and raised in Amman, Jordan, is a lawyer by profession, who now spends her time between Doha and Dubai. Her love of Italy’s impeccable leather and her vision for a brand that excels in quality as well as artistry led to the creation of the brand.

The Belquis range of handbags and clutches sport iconic designs, showcases impeccable attention to detail and are high on functionality.

As a mother, designer, an entrepreneur and a firm believer that accessories complete the outfit, Reem Salman has been redefining the new modern contemporary woman aesthetic, one handbag at a time.

Signature talks to the dynamic entrepreneur about her luxury handbags brand and the journey so far…
