A few words with the designer: Peggy Raphaël Dabar
“ It must have all begun without my knowledge when I was a child!
I still remember the feeling of despair at the sight of an ancient house being destroyed, a deep-rooted site being modernized, an old precious fabric being replaced! I finished my Advertising degree, but knew that I had to do things that will create beauty, inner peace or simply give a message. I traveled from Lebanon to United States where I took my Master degree in Fine Arts,from “Tufts University” and the “School of the Museum of Fine Arts” in Boston. These two degrees opposite in their way of thinking contributed equally in creating the line of objects I am doing now.
This evil eye necklace by Mercedes Salazar caught my eye.
If you’re cutting carbs, these look pretty tasty.
