An EXCLUSIVE Q&A Interview with Leoluca Handbag Designers

By Laura Miles

During the past two years, the fashion industry has lightened up with an array of bright and wild colors juxtaposed with neutrals. This trend is here to stay and I recently had the chance to interview the designers behind Leoluca and ask them questions about their beginning, their goals, and the interesting story behind the name of their brand.

Oh, and did I mention their beautiful handbags are made in the USA?

An interview with Raven & Lily

By Negeen Amuzegar

The Women Behind the Jewelery

      Raven + Lily was founded by Kirsten Dickerson and Sophia Lin, two amazing women who share a passion for fashion as well as helping women in need. Their collections include handmade and eco-friendly jewelery and accessories from women in North India, Ethiopia, and Cambodia. Each piece of jewelery tells the story of the woman who made it. In return, Raven + Lily dedicates proceeds to fund education, health care, and micro-loans, ultimately transforming the lives of these women and their families.

When I first came across Raven & Lily, I was completely captivated by their story.  Although their unique and beautiful jewelery stood out to me, it was their desire to help those in need that really caught my attention. I watched their video and witnessed the beauty Kirsten and Sophia saw in these women. From then on, their products weren't just necklaces or earrings, but they were a story, a story about a beautiful woman and her life. I began to read more about their company and came across a story about a woman named Elsabet. Her husband left her and their young son for another woman, leaving Elsabet with nothing. In order to help make a living for her and her son, Elsabet began begging on the streets for money. Some hope came her way as she began attending a Saturday education program, which later led her to join a jewelery making program. Elsabet's life changed from that moment on. She was no longer begging in the streets but instead she was a strong, independent woman making money to support her son. It is women like these that inspire Raven + Lily and that inspire me. It was then that I realized the impact Kirsten and Sophia were making in the lives of these women and I had to know more.

Kirsten Dickerson took time out of her busy schedule to answer some questions about the journey of Raven & Lily.
