Retail Apparel and Fashion
Established in 2019 by UAE-based designer Melika Ciner, Bellicose stands as a distinguished luxury brand committed to the principles of cruelty-free fashion. The term bellicose signifies an assertive and combative nature, reflecting the brand’s bold and unapologetic approach to fashion, coupled with a resolute dedication to animal liberation in an industry grappling with the controversial use of animal furs.
Bellicose sources its faux furs from Turkey and manufactures them in the UAE, utilising synthetic materials to eliminate the need for animal pelts. This conscientious choice not only supports animal rights but also mitigates the adverse effects associated with fur farming, including cruelty, waste, and pollution. The brand’s commitment extends to environmental sustainability, with faux fur production boasting a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to real fur, requiring less energy and resources.
Elevating its ethical stance, 40% of Bellicose products are handmade, ensuring fair pay and equal opportunities for employees while adding a bespoke element to each garment. As a small-scale enterprise, Bellicose embraces a global presence through online platforms, facilitating worldwide shipping. Join us on this transformative journey, contributing to a fashion industry characterised by kindness and consciousness.
