In an era where fashion is often fleeting and trends come and go, Reema Al Khatib stands firm — not just as a designer, but as a visionary. As the founder and CEO of Tigre Rosa, a rising name in luxury footwear, Reema is turning her passion into purpose, transforming heels into timeless emblems of power, poise, and self-expression.
Raised in the dynamic city of Dubai, Reema’s love affair with both business and fashion began early. She earned her degree in Marketing from the American University in Dubai, equipping her with a sharp entrepreneurial mind. But numbers and strategy weren’t enough — her heart craved artistry. That pull led her into the world of fashion design, where she honed her creative edge, learned the intricacies of color theory, pattern making, and the rare craftsmanship that defines haute couture footwear.
The result? Tigre Rosa — a brand as bold and graceful as the name suggests. Each pair of shoes is more than a design; it’s a declaration. A statement for women who dare to lead, who walk into every room not to be seen, but to be remembered.
“I wanted to create something that wasn’t just beautiful — I wanted it to mean something,” says Reema. “Tigre Rosa is for the woman who owns her story, who commands attention without needing to say a word.”
Indeed, what makes Reema’s work extraordinary isn’t just her refined aesthetic — it’s her mission-driven mindset. Her brand isn’t focused solely on heels that look good, but heels that feel powerful, that lift women up, both literally and emotionally.
As Tigre Rosa begins to capture attention across the Middle East and beyond, Reema remains deeply connected to her vision. She sketches new designs with intention, keeping every woman — the executive, the artist, the mother, the dreamer — in mind. She envisions her shoes on runways, in boardrooms, and at celebrations where confidence is the best accessory of all.
Reema is also a champion of conscious luxury — prioritizing thoughtful design and sustainable choices, and challenging the norms of fast fashion. She believes that luxury should last, not only in quality but in emotional value.
