Treesje Bags
Written by Yvette N. Coleman
Laura Darrah and Shelia
Nazarian have been friends from the moment
they met and it is their synergy that allows them
to create a luxurious mix of handbags. Both Nazarian
and Darrah attended the University of
San Diego where they studied business
and fine arts. Darrah went on to earn a Master’s
degree in business and traveled the world, becoming
most interested in Eastern culture and its artistic
influence. Having grown up assisting her mother
who worked as a designer for several French companies,
Nazarian became immersed in European fashion and
launched a successful career in the industry after
college.
Together they launched Treesje’s
first collection in January of 2005 and have gained
a tremendous following. Treesje’s
distinctive designs are feminine, soft, and stylish
with a wide range of colors and styles.
Treesje is synonymous with impeccable quality
and this season’s offering holds true to
form. This season’s collection was spawned
from internal reflections of their personalities
by both of Darrah and Nazarian. In a nutshell,
the Treesje’s collect will belong to the
woman that can express herself with confidence
and style.
What do you think will be the biggest
trends for 2008? Rich, innovative colors.
What trends are you seriously tired
of? Anything over embellished.
What's next for Treesje? We
hope to use our growth to provide an even wider
and richer collection. Long term we would like
to expand into the apparel side of the market.
Words of wisdom from Treesje:
Never forget why you started doing it in the first
place.
