Takke One Second was created by designer Abir Slim, who was originally born in Lebanon and moved to Seattle area over 25 years ago. Her brand Takke meaning ‘one second’ in Arabic, symbolizes the profound decisions made in the blink of an eye. Inspired by her journey, her heritage, and her unwavering dedication to the art of fashion.
Life wasn’t easiest for her from the start; her dad passed away when she was young, leaving her mom to raise two kids. With tailoring as her sole means of income, her mom tirelessly sewed and altered clothes to barely make ends meet. As she grew up, she found herself captivated by the rhythm of the needle and thread, sitting beside her mother, watching her mom’s skilled hands transform fabric into wearable art. While she worked, Abir would sketch her own designs, dreaming of the day I could bring them to life. She now lives in the Seattle area, she has launched her own fashion brand, putting her love of fashion and skill into each piece. As it is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and boundless potential that lie within us all.
