Elie Saab is sold through a small number of channels, and they do not all offer the
same thing. Here is where the Lebanese house is actually available, what each route gives you, and
what to check before you pay.
The four ways to buy Elie Saab
| Channel | What you get | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| The house boutiques and eliesaab.com | Current season, full size run, couture appointments | Limited city coverage, and couture is by appointment and priced on request |
| Multi-brand retailers such as Luxury Shoes | Current ready-to-wear, cross-brand comparison, worldwide shipping | Stock moves quickly on the embellished pieces |
| Department stores | A curated slice of the season | Usually a narrow edit, and often eveningwear only |
| Resale marketplaces | Archive pieces, lower prices | Authenticity and condition sit with you, and returns are limited |
Buying Elie Saab at Luxury Shoes
Luxury Handbags carries Elie Saab ready-to-wear across dresses, tailoring, and separates, sourced through
the trade rather than resale. Every piece is checked by our team before dispatch, against the house
construction markers: the label and care stamp, the seam and lining finish, the bead and sequin
anchoring, and the hardware. Browse the full range on the Elie Saab brand page,
and go straight to evening gowns and designer dresses.
What it costs
Ready-to-wear is the accessible half of this house. On Luxury Handbags the range runs from $690 for a top
to $30,514 for a fully hand-beaded gown, and the median piece is $3,810. Dresses start at $2,130 and
run to $30,514, with a median of $5,846. Couture is a separate business, made to measure over
multiple fittings in the Beirut and Paris ateliers, and priced on request.
If the gowns sit above your budget, the separates are the way in. Tops open
around $690 and skirts around $840, so a hand-worked blouse gets you the craft without the gown
price. There is more on this in our guide to brands like Elie Saab.
Shipping and duties
Luxury Handbags ships Elie Saab worldwide through DHL Express and FedEx International Priority, insured
and signature required. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which makes you the importer of
record for local duties and taxes on arrival. The full terms sit in our
returns and duties policy, and it is worth reading before you order
internationally so the landed cost holds no surprises.
What to check before you buy
- The size is French. A FR 38 is a UK 10 and a US 6. Luxury Handbags lists every piece on the UK ladder, and there is a full conversion table in our styling guide.
- Beaded seams cannot be let out. The embroidery runs across the seam allowance, so take the larger size if you are between two and have it taken in.
- Check the embellishment weight. Hand beadwork sits slightly irregular and gives a gown real heft. Printed and glued embellishment lies flat, and the garment feels light.
- Read the returns window before you commit on an occasion piece, particularly if the event is close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Elie Saab online?
Elie Saab ready-to-wear is available from the house site, from multi-brand retailers including Luxury Shoes , and from a narrow edit at some department stores. Luxury Handbags ships worldwide and verifies every piece before dispatch.
Is Elie Saab a good brand?
Yes, on its own terms. It is a genuine haute couture house, founded in Beirut in 1982 and on the Paris couture calendar since 2003, and the value sits in hand embellishment and built-in construction. It is strongest on occasion pieces and least compelling for everyday tailoring.

How do I know an Elie Saab piece is authentic?
Check the label and care stamp, the seam and lining finish, and the bead anchoring. Hand beadwork sits slightly irregular and gives the garment real weight, where glued and printed embellishment lies flat. Every piece on Luxury Handbags is verified before dispatch.
