I did take a long time to update my blog, during which, I visited Lebanon.

Apart from the great Spring weather and incredible food we had during the visit, Aiisha Fashion line is selling in Beirut now.

The prestigious Le Balcon des Créateurs, located in Gemayzé Street and at ABC Achrafieh (Lebanese Corner) is carrying a selective line by Aiisha. This is a big step for my label in reaching a more diverse, sophisticated crowd.

Aiisha Clutch Bags

Aiisha Clutches

Aiisha Clutches

After mapochette.com contacted me, requesting exclusive clutch bags designed by Aiisha, it was my first attempt designing bags, on the design board I went for gigantic sizes (around 18 inches wide) made of patent calf leather with a python print. One of the clutches had a more romantic appeal with its bow and the other was more futuristic and practical. Both bags are available on mapochette.com exclusively for rental.

 

I can’t wait to surprise myself with the upcoming designs.
