In collaboration with Marka PJSC (DFM: MARKA), the first public joint stock retail operator in the UAE, contemporary French jewelry brand dinh van marked its 1st anniversary in Dubai by celebrating with guests, VIPs, media and the Marka team at its branch in CITY WALK. The anniversary follows the recent opening of dinh van’s second outlet, in Galeries Lafayette at The Dubai Mall, and sees the brand looking ahead to its expansion into Qatar where a new store will open in April 2017.

Founded by Jean Dinh Van in Paris in 1965, the House of dinh van was born from the will to modernize the archaic codes of fine jewelry, and to promote Din Vanh’s modern vision of creating timeless pieces that reflect the desires of contemporary women. Ever since, dinh van’s collections have stood for the free spirit of French jewelry, taking inspiration from daily life and revealing the essential.
