up on the possibility. So when I found an opportunity to work at L'Oral, I thought wow, this is a really established global company, a marketing vehicle, and a way to learn brand management from the best as training for a fashion brand. I spent two very key and educational years at L'Oreal and felt ready. Aside from the economic situation, I felt it was the right time for me personally. I had been working on my bags so felt like my product was ready, I had my vision ready, I had everything set to go and I thought who knows how long this economic downturn is going to take. If I can make it during this time, knock on wood, I'll be able to make it through the better times.DH: When I decided I wanted to bring fashion into my career, I toyed with various ideas. You can either start in ready to wear, shoes, or accessories such as jewelry but I went with what I loved best, handbags. And what I love about handbags is that they work for any woman, any attitude, any age, and any type. Handbags are also season less, whether you buy the newest hip launch or pull out your mother's vintage bag from twenty years ago. They are still relevant and at the very least a cool statement piece. As for the way the concept came together, I'm a product of my past and present. From my Lebanese cultural background to where I live today. I always find an interest and attraction in things that are a mix of different worlds. Everything about my bags is a contrast. Every time my friends would visit Lebanon, I always felt their eyes were attracted to the metal work in Beirut, which is the art form of the country. Wanting to bring back souvenirs, they never could find an item that was not linked to something religious, or an oversize home urn, or platter! So I thought let me use the metal craft of the region and combine it with something that is fashion, beauty and uniquely contemporary. So that's how my first bag, Le Icon, came along. It's hand engraved metal, Arabic calligraphy combined with a western silhouette that is classic and useable across the seasons. To me, having a combination of soft delicate leather with hard raw, yet delicately engraved metal, is the epitome of what I was trying to bring.
