DLISH began with a simple question:
What if a gift could hold emotion, spark conversation, and stay present long after it’s received?
Born from this idea, DLISH approaches gifting as a quiet art—one rooted in care, presence, and the power of thoughtful curation. In a fast-moving world, DLISH invites people to slow down and give with intention.
Mona Bavar & the DLISH Team
DLISH specializes in:
Every DLISH gift is designed to be felt, not forgotten.
Contact UsWe work with independent artisans, small producers, and designers who value quality, provenance, and care. Each collaboration begins with listening. To the story, the recipient, and the moment you want to create.
DLISH gifts are chosen not only for their beauty, but for how they make people feel. They arrive quietly, linger gently, and leave a lasting impression.
DLISH was founded to bring intention back to gifting. Founder Mona Bavar created the brand in response to the rise of generic, transactional gifts, with the belief that a gift should carry meaning, story, and emotional presence rather than function as branded merchandise.
It reflects DLISH’s commitment to intentional curation. Rather than relying on default or automated gift choices, DLISH focuses on objects with provenance, design integrity, and relevance to the recipient, turning gifting into a considered act rather than a transaction.
DLISH works directly with independent artisans, small producers, and heritage makers across Europe, with a particular focus on Italy. From Murano glassmakers to family-run olive oil estates and independent designers, each product is selected for its quality, story, and craftsmanship.
DLISH was founded by Mona Bavar, an Iranian-American entrepreneur whose work bridges Italian design sensibility and Persian traditions of hospitality. Her background in luxury, culture, and storytelling informs DLISH’s approach to experiential and meaningful gifting.
DLISH approaches gifting as a narrative experience. Rather than assembling products, each collection is curated with editorial intent, sensory awareness, and cultural context, creating gifts designed to be remembered rather than simply received.
