Our Story

Architecture for the body.

DUNESI is a luxury house by Hanne Ripsaluoma, Finnish-born designer whose work balances Nordic clarity with the contemporary edge of Dubai. Her practice is rooted in structure and movement; minimal lines, considered volume, and finishes executed with quiet precision.

Hanne’s work is defined by sculptural silhouettes, immaculate construction, and a calm, unmistakable presence. Based in Dubai and working internationally, the house advances a precise language of modern couture with architectural evening wear, considered movement, and exacting finish.

Early experiments evolved into couture, pieces cut as architecture for the body. Every line is intentional, proportion engineered, movement considered, finishes resolved with discretion.

Collections are realized in conscious luxury fabrics chosen for integrity and touch. The house works with new yet existing silent stock luxury fabrics, reduces waste, uses recycled packaging, ensures fair pay and respectful conditions for artisans, and champions the empowerment of women.

Hanne’s work has appeared at The Event DXB and in Vogue Brazil, Basic Magazine, Dubai One TV, Sayidaty, Almaty Fashion Week, and Art in the Middle, with further presentations, collaborations, and on-screen placements forthcoming.

Upcoming appearances include The Event DXB Ramadan Edition and styling placements across major platforms, including an upcoming cameo on Netflix’s Dubai Bling.
