I just got back from Lebanon where I spent my summer break with the kids, up in beautiful Ehden. The breathtaking nature all around my home got me addicted to Instagram: I could not resist posting daily sunsets and stunning landscapes. I usually spend so much time on Facebook, I make it a point not to check other apps but it tuned out I was missing out on a lot. Instagram introduced me to so many talents out there!
Purple ❤ Pink By Mira was one of them.
Mira Moawad started as a fashion designer, with more than 13 years experience under her belt at
Mireille Dagher Fashion House where she played a key role in different areas from selecting fabrics and designs, media, to fashion show executions and more.
But it was her insatiable passion for fashion and creation that let her to launch her own label:
Purple ❤ Pink By Mira. Her captivation with accessories for adults and children started with creating her own designs for her nieces and nephews every occasion she found. With time, and the encouragement of others who loved her work and asked for them, she decided to take her passion to the next level and go pro.
I was really intrigued by the color synthesis that is
Purple ❤ Pink and what it could mean. It turns out Mira's two-year old niece inspired the name when she kept repeating these two words over and over again for almost two days after being gifted a bunch of purple and pink balloons. Children's obsessions are the cutest!

Purple ❤ Pink offers a variety of accessories for boys, girls and teenagers such as hats, bracelets, bands or hair clips, personalized T-shirts, crowns and tiaras, and so much more. Her Instagram page is literally a rainbow of colors, fabric and bling!
Mira says that her designs are inspired by her surroundings, trendy fashion, celebrities, and most importantly, her very own customers. She starts by creating samples to showcase the designs and the products gradually come to life.
Colors, materials and fabrics are all carefully selected from haute couture stores, like Swarovski and sourced mainly from the US and France. One single item could take up to five days to be completed.
For the time being, Mira relies on social media and word of mouth to promote her work and it is not surprising the orders never stop. If you pass by someone wearing
Purple ❤ Pink, you will not be able to resist asking how you can get your hands on one of your own!
And bonus for all of us lazy girls:
Purple ❤ Pink offers home delivery via Liban Post. Orders are placed on social media (
Instagram,
Facebook) or WhatsApp (
+96176534245). Shipments worldwide are also available for a small additional fee and
Purple ❤ Pink has already delighted customers in Abidjan, the US, Cyprus and Greece.
Mira hopes to become the number one stop for accessories in Lebanon and the region, and most particularly for children and teenagers who were her original inspiration behind
Purple ❤ Pink.
