Our story so far.
The Brand
KHANINYAN is an independent, art-driven brand born from craft, history, and a contemporary eye.
Its founder, Anna Khaninyan, is a visual artist, jewelry designer, and restorer at the Matenadaran — one of the world’s greatest repositories of ancient Armenian manuscripts. Every day, Anna works hands-on with manuscripts centuries old, studying their ornaments, symbols, and the visual language they carry. This isn’t a mood board or a distant reference point. It’s a direct, living connection to heritage — and it’s the foundation everything we make is built on.
KHANINYAN translates that ancient visual DNA into objects for modern life: silk scarves, sterling silver pendants, apparel, and wearable art. Every piece is rooted in meaning and made with intention.
At the heart of it all is the Armenian Collection — khachkars, the Arevakhach eternity symbol, and an alphabet that has survived everything. Reinterpreted through a minimalist, contemporary lens, these aren’t symbols of nostalgia. They’re a living statement of identity.
More collections are on the way — new themes, new materials, new stories. Because KHANINYAN isn’t only about where we come from. It’s about how we carry it forward.
Based in Yerevan, Armenia. Shipping worldwide.
