About Us

Our Journey

Daphne began in 1989 in the sea-kissed city of Varna, Bulgaria. At a time of deep transition and challenge, designer Dafina Manoukian introduced her debut collection at a private runway show — and every piece sold out the very same evening.

What followed was the birth of a brand defined by elegance, resilience, and craft. Within a year, Daphne opened its first boutique, and quickly expanded into luxury retailers across Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, and Romania.

Today, the Daphne name stands as a symbol of enduring style and uncompromising quality.

Our Philosophy

We believe that fashion is that artistic and strong creative force that serves to express one’s true self. 

All the materials and technological elements for the production of our clothes, even the smallest, hardly noticeable details, are consistent not only with our aesthetic views, but furthermore – with our criteria for quality, long-lasting life and functionality of the garment. 

We hold the creation process of our collections in the highest regard.

Our Collections

“Our inspiration comes from nature, love, and the desire for every woman in Daphne to feel confident, noticed, and beautiful.”
Dafina Manoukian

We design for movement and modernity. For comfort that doesn’t compromise elegance.

Our silhouettes are quietly bold — flattering, wearable, and distinct. Each piece is quality-controlled at every stage of production, and uniquely barcoded — giving every garment a traceable identity. A signature of our commitment to craftsmanship.

From fluid dresses to tailored blazers, Daphne offers timeless pieces with a contemporary edge — always relevant, always refined.
