DLISH began as Mona Bavar's personal search for meaning in a world that had forgotten how to connect. After years of working across cultures and industries, she noticed the same pattern everywhere - people had stopped feeling. Even the simple act of giving, something meant to express care, had become automated, empty, and performative.

For Mona, gifting was never about the object. It was about presence through moments around the table, the stories shared, the exchange of something real. That belief, shaped by her Iranian heritage and years in Milan's design and culinary worlds, became the foundation for DLISH.

She started the company as a reaction. A refusal to accept the soullessness of modern gifting. DLISH was her way of restoring emotion and artistry to something deeply human. What began as a single box, curated like a dinner invitation, has grown into a brand that bridges cultures, connects people, and keeps the story alive in every gift.
