About Hale Bob
Hale Bob is a Los Angeles–based brand founded by Parisian designer Daniel Bohbot. Before launching Hale Bob, the designer spent over twenty years immersed in the fashion industry, developing a deep understanding of design, craftsmanship and the cultural influences that define modern women’s style.
His fashion journey eventually led him to Los Angeles, a city he saw as the perfect canvas for his evolving brand. Known as the City of Angels, LA offered the freedom, energy and lifestyle-driven spirit that aligned with his creative direction.
